Die Bühnen­malerei und die Plastik!

In the organizer's words:

From brush on a stick to reciprocating saw, from flying pig to white whale - workshop presentation and talk with the heads of stage painting and sculpture Angela Hecker-Beindorf and Katja Schümann-Forsen - on November 16, 2024 - Central

The canvas with the whale jumping out of the water at the beginning of "Moby Dick" is so large that it fills the entire stage portal of the Grosses Haus. The lashing sea spray, the threatening clouds, the whale's flashing eye - in fact, the entire picture was painted lying on the floor. The painting room in the Central is certainly one of the most beautiful rooms in the D'haus. Canvases line the walls and galleries, a larger-than-life tiger looks down on paint pots, brushes and stretched fabrics. Right next door, separated only by a screen, is the stage sculpture. The large papier-mâché heads of the gods from "The Good Man of Szechwan" are sculpted there, as are the roast poultry that regularly bursts into flames in "Biedermann and the Arsonists" and the caryatids that support the walls of Macbeth's palace and appear to be made of marble from the auditorium.
