Farm der Tiere

In the organizer's words:

Nine puppeteers and musicians bring Orwell's bitter parable to the stage in a sensual, accurate and captivating way.

George Orwell's analysis of the inevitable dynamics of totalitarian mechanisms, written in the mid-1940s, is frighteningly topical. His view of demagogues and tyrannical rulers, supporters and followers, but also of the handling of true and fake news, the falsification of history, the exclusion of dissenters and the behavior of those in power seems highly topical. A piece of timeless world literature and a musical fairy tale full of grim wit.

Wilde & Vogel, Feisel and Comrades: a team of very different people with diverse forms of artistic expression. To stay with the image of the animal farm: old pigs and young ducklings come together, some can read better, others work more persistently, one sews, the other plays the drums, the others sing fervently in a choir. All together, under the direction of Michael Vogel and with a text version by Janne Weirup, developed this production.
