SONGS FOR ALICE

In the organizer's words:

A concert with characters based on Lewis Caroll

An extraordinary evening between prose and punk: the mangy White Rabbit and the mysterious Cheshire Cat, the fat Duchess, the egghead Humpty Dumpty and the legendary Jabberwock, the extinct Dodo or the scrappy twins Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum - none of them are cute characters from a harmless children's story, but rather mad representatives:inside a bizarre logic of absurdity and subterranean desire. The mathematician, writer and photographer Lewis Carroll created them to entertain his little friends.

In scenes and songs, "Songs for Alice" is primarily dedicated to the poems from Carroll's Alice volumes. The production by director Hendrik Mannes balances between concert and theater and brings together fervent hits and noisy explosions, expressive figures and poetic machines, quiet moments and big ballyhoo, catchy tunes and bouncers.

As part of "TWIST IT! Figure and Song. An interdisciplinary festival of the Westflügel Leipzig."

This event is part of our anniversary tour 94/24, but is excluded from the stamp card campaign.
