As theater on tour, they offer internationally understandable marionette plays in mime and productions of fairy tales and myths.
These are plays full of poetry that awaken the child within the adult and lead to peace and reflection in children. Inspired by what he sees acted out on stage, the story proper develops in the imagination of the observer. The pantomime, though, requires concentration and therefore the audience’s cooperation. Even though subjects from the world of children are used often, the plays are primarily geared towards adults and families. Groups solely consisting of children should be prepared for the quiet, epic way of playing.
The productions take place in front of a black background; only few props are used. Owing to the fact that the marionettes can also be seen well from further away, the audience can easily consist of up to 200 people.
