Company
Uta Gebert, born in Dresden, is a puppeteer. A graduate of the Hochschule für Schauspielkunst Ernst Busch in Berlin, she creates her own productions while also participating in ensemble productions. She performed at the last UNIDRAM festival in the Long Night of Experiments.

Performance
A sandy desert. Something begins to move. One filigree, root-like hand unearths itself and is quickly followed by a second one. Yet the second hand seems to belong to a creature from another world … Am I the one that I am? – is the question that this act of creation in several parts, this work of invisible hands, seems to be posing. Cocoons, miniature worlds, dream images, a play without words – COCOON is about the cycle of dying and becoming, about homelessness, the need for protection and the pursuit of knowledge.
