The Waltz of Hommelettes
In the organizer's words:
Les Antliaclastes [FR]
Freely adapted from "The Elves" by the Brothers Grimm
little language / little dialogue - French with German subtitles
A huge Black Forest clock hangs in front of the viewer. Fairy tales usually follow a well-oiled mechanism, and this piece is no exception. It runs like clockwork - in the truest sense of the word. But this clock does not run smoothly - it is a little crazy, perhaps a little broken, manipulated by elves. It has all the typical features of a classic cuckoo clock, but one thing sets it apart from the others: This clock has an extra hour!
In this frozen time, elves can interfere in human affairs in a variety of ways.
In keeping with tradition, this clock is equipped with all kinds of automatons and mechanical figures that represent the customs and traditions of the people in their region. A cobbler's workshop can be seen in one window. It serves as the backdrop for the fairy tale "The Cobbler and the Elves". On the other side: a factory. Day after day, a maid sweeps up the garbage that accumulates there, unaware that one day she will become the godmother of an elf.
And so the story takes its course. A mother bird spins wool into a nest. A horned rabbit lies in wait to hunt the cuckoo.
The clock strikes thirteen. The elves dance.
