"nathan in the box"

Lessing's Nathan the Wise for the pop music generation by Bridge Markland

Bridge Markland juggles classical text lines and pop music quotations with virtuosity and undermines fixed role attributions along the way. She switches rapidly between performance, puppetry and playback and dusts off the classic material for a wide audience.

Welcomed with "Burning down the House" (Talking Heads), Nathan returns home after a long journey. Fortunately, his tocter Recha was rescued in time by the hero who, like an angel, saves her from the fire: "Send me an angel" (Scorpions) Lessing's parable focuses on people rather than their origin or even religion - and is therefore more topical than ever. Humanity and tolerance can overcome divides and enable peaceful coexistence - this message, fast-paced and catchy, carried by a tapestry of well-known pop songs, is excellently embodied and presented in Bridge Markland's one-woman puppet transformation playback show.
