Katja Baumann | "The Silence of the Heroes" | Small Arts

Description

The Silence of the Heroes is a poetic and humorous fairy tale parody about love, courage, and the power of one's own inner voice. With subtle irony, surprising twists, and touching honesty, the play tells the story of characters who defy their predetermined paths – and thereby change their world. Acting, puppetry, and video projections intertwine into a story that encourages breaking old patterns. Jorinde refuses to remain the helpless victim. Joringel dreams of a brilliant hero career – perhaps even his own show. And the earth sorceress, long reduced to her role as antagonist, finally demands depth, understanding, and recognition. What follows is an anarchic play about role models, narrative power, and self-presentation: casting shows meet fairy tale forest, sitcom moments meet poetic images, quiet doubt meets loud self-assertion. The character of Mr. Grimm guides with wit and subtle poetry through a story that reorganizes itself to continue living. | Venue: Kulturhaus Meck, Geissgasse 17 in 5070 Frick Parking: There are few parking spaces behind the house.
