Puppet Performance inspired by Hieronymus Bosch

Hieronymus Bosch, the first Surrealist and painter of the confusion of the human soul, of the strange and unimaginable, created a grand fantasy cosmos.
Dogs in suits of armour, bat-women, homunculi, nun-pigs, knives with ears: each demonic puppet descends from its triptych into the theatre to give a performance of temptations and transformations between good and evil. On the levels of a stage resembling a medieval altar-piece, the production creates a mosaic of sinful, unsaved souls, inventing stories and episodes for Bosch`s images. The production plays with these images like a construction set; it paints over them with strong colours, again and again revealing the apocalypse concealed beneath the many cracks and layers.
