Struwwelpeter (Shockheaded Peter)

Description

Junk-Oper nach Heinrich Hoffmann Musical der Tiger Lillies, Julian Crouch und Phelim McDermott
Music by Martyn Jacques | German by Andreas Marber "Schwarze Pädagogik" pushed to the extreme and with music by the Tiger Lillies. Grotesque horror show and eerily beautiful black humor make the audience become captivated children. Who doesn't know them? The Struwwelpeter and his like-minded: Hanns Guck-in-die-Luft, the fidgety Philip, the thumb-sucker, the soup-kid and many more. All the characters that psychiatrist Dr. Heinrich Hoffmann invented in 1845 for his children as funny stories with amusing pictures. Because: Those who do not listen must feel! Accompanied by surreal image and music worlds, rebellion against authorities and blind obedience is stirred. A little bit of horror show between slapstick and grotesque. Beware of the monsters lurking in human consciousness. Not for the faint-hearted!
