figuren theater tübingen

Company
The figuren theater tübingen is one of the outstanding theatre companies of its kind. Since the beginning of the nineties it has toured over forty countries. For many years it has worked with with the duo rat`n`X, which often contributes the music to the productions, regarded by the group itself as visual poems.

Performance
A drawer opens and beings emerge which are half animal, half human. Centaur-like creatures that push into the back room of memory. Here they encounter a many-faced death, smooth and dancing. A morbid realm between lust for life and decay. From working with representations work with of danse macabre, a round dance of transcience, which reflects western mythology in an ironic way, is generated from poetic and bizarre transformations of the interplay between music, figures and dance.
