Bear-Girl-King + reinhardswald

Here they are, peeps...the first photos of the 2 pieces that premiere tomorrow. Send your toi-toi-tois, your break a legs and your merdes our way.  It's all going down at 19:30 kassel time.

The evening opens with Bear-Girl-King, by our Israeli guest choreographers, where everyone is masked by black full body unitards, united by movement rituals and disembodied sounds.   








A girl emerges from the group...  


as does a bear... 


and eventually, a king.




The evening continues with reinhardswald, the title of which comes from the famous woods near Kassel which inspired the Brothers Grimm for many of their fairy tales.   It's an anti-hero's tale, the story of the wolf.






But is he really a wolf, or just a child trying to get what he wants? 

How far do his fantasies take him? 



And what exactly happened to him when he went into the woods, all alone?
