half past selber schuld // What´s Wrong With People

Why don't we actually learn anything? Why do we keep getting involved in the same tragedies over and over again? Are we all guilty, or simply to be pitied? Good questions! WHAT'S WRONG WITH PEOPLE - the new stage comic by half past selber schuld - provides answers. It takes a closer look at an animal called "man". The furious Düsseldorf group led by Ilanit Magarshak-Riegg and Sir ladybug beetle has been creating theatrical parallel universes for more than a quarter of a century, in which outrageously funny songs are played, puppets dance and apocalyptic cartoons come to life. At the Pumpenhaus, this could most recently be admired in the production WHAT ROBOTS NEED TO LEARN. In WHAT'S WRONG WITH PEOPLE, a wonderfully ugly picture of society is now created using puppetry and shadow play, projections, lots of 2D objects and mechanical elements. In extremely entertaining episodes. If everything is a game - couldn't we change the rules of the game?
