Struwwelpeter (Shockheaded Peter) - Premiere

Description

Junk-Oper based on Heinrich Hoffmann's work, musical by the Tiger Lillies, Julian Crouch, and Phelim McDermott
Music by Martyn Jacques | German translation by Andreas Marber "Black Pedagogy" taken 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, Zappel-Philipp, Thumb Sucker, 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: Those who don't want to listen must feel! Accompanied by surreal worlds of images and music, rebellion against authorities and blind obedience is stirred. A little horror show between slapstick and grotesque. Beware of the monsters lurking in human consciousness. Not for the faint-hearted! -- Age recommendation: from 13 years
