(Tearing Out Sounds | A paper opera.)

For children aged 5 and over.

Something’s happening behind the paper screen. A pair of scissors starts cutting slits into the screen. Sounds come tearing out! And then all is quiet again. A mouth appears at the hole in the paper screen; a paper organ is created by more cuts; flutes peek out of a paper window; a cello stretches out; a saxophone sighs. So what came first: The sound or did the paper flap move just then? Does the same sound always come out of the same place? I can’t believe what my eyes are hearing.

A perception performance, a mix of figure and puppet theatre, Dada vocal acrobatics, tricky shadow-play and musical numbers. A surreal concert of pictures to open up your eyes and your ears.

Director: Jörg Baesecke.
