Programme

Philippe Quesne

Fantasmagoria

 Part of "Spirits, Jinns & Avatars”

Duration 55 mins.

Language French  with German subtitles  With English subtitles 

For this magical and eerie evening, Philippe Quesne orchestrates an actorless theater. The protagonists are flying skeletons, whispering voices, and lone pianos on which choruses of the dead resound. A fantastic world that brings the centuries-old magic of the laterna magica onto the stage.

The event on 2.3. can be combined with the concert by Mazaher.
