Struwwelpeter (Shockheaded Peter)

Description

Junk-Oper based on Heinrich Hoffmann's work, music by the Tiger Lillies, Julian Crouch, and Phelim McDermott
Music by Martyn Jacques | German by Andreas Marber "Black Pedagogy" pushed to the extreme and accompanied by music from the Tiger Lillies. Grotesque horror show and eerily beautiful black humor turn the audience into captivated children. Who doesn't know them? The Struwwelpeter and his like-minded: Hanns Guck-in-the-Luft, the Fidgety Philip, the Thumb Sucker, the Soup Kaspar, and many more. All characters invented by psychiatrist Dr. Heinrich Hoffmann in 1845 for his children as funny stories with amusing pictures. Because: Who refuses to listen must feel! Accompanied by surreal visual and musical worlds, rebellion against authorities and blind obedience is sparked. A little horror show between slapstick and grotesque. Beware of the monsters lurking in the human consciousness. Not for the faint-hearted! -- Age recommendation: from 13 years
