A nightpiece about Robert Schumann

Robert Schumann, composer and writer, born in 1810 in Zwickau, died in 1856 in the lunatic asylum of Bonn-Endenich. 46 years of life.

What was the inner life of this man; what were his perceptions of the world?
What happens if his music materialises in the form of puppet figures on a stage?
An experiment with identities, intimations of another self, encounters with fantastic beings, ghosts and doppelgangers.

A kaleidoscope of intermingling motifs is created by a Hammond organ M3, words from Schumann’s diary, puppet figures and automatons; independently, as well as in amplification of each other, they produce a harmony.

Directed by: Frank Soehnle
Puppets & play: Michael Vogel
Live music: Charlotte Wilde

Premiere: 27.10.2000
Coproduction with FITZ! Figurentheater Stuttgart.

Four prizes at the International Festival Animacje 2002 in Bielsko-Biala, Poland.
2nd prize at the Theatre Award of the Stuttgarter Zeitung 2001.

Charles Baudelaire: Poems in Prose

“Which one of us, in his moments of ambition, has not dreamed of the miracle of a poetic prose, musical, without rhythm and without rhyme, supple enough and rugged enough to adapt itself to the lyrical impulses of the soul, the undulations of reverie, the jibes of conscience?
It was, above all, out of my exploration of huge cities, out of the medley of their innumerable interrelations, that this haunting ideal was born.“
Charles Baudelaire, Preface to Paris Spleen, 1869

Spleen is a kaleidoscope of pictures, so songs and miniatures, inspired by Charles Baudelaire’s collection of poems in prose Le Spleen de Paris, which was published posthumously in 1869. Mankind on the threshold to modernity is described in the scenes played out between thirst for life and longing for death, between a romantic search for infinity and a brutal triviality.

The play is open in this production: the performers are on the stage with puppets and musical instruments, Baudelaire’s texts spoken by children and recorded on tape. The magic of this kaleidoscope develops in the imagination between actors, material and audience: A sequence of pictures and live-music, that wants to counterpoint Baudelaire’s vision of the world and open it for an understanding from the present.

DUST - STAUB – אבק
Co-production with Golden Delicious (ISR / FR)

“I’ve called mother last week to announce her she will appear in the new piece “Dust” we are creating in Leipzig. It’s frightening to create involving family stories. Furthermore, when the stories are not just my own family, not just Ari’s, but also of Michael and Charlotte. Our grandparents could, theoretically, have met somewhere in Europe back then but happily or unfortunately they didn’t.“

Published on Social Media by Inbal Yomtovian, September 14 at 8:49 pm.

How did I become what I am, who are the others, and how can we connect? Four artists from different forms of creative expression come together to tell stories. Starting with personal memories, family stories and dreams they highlight moments which we all share but also moments which isolate us. Puppet and object theatre, movement and storytelling are accompanied and penetrated by music and merge in singing. In this evening of theatre time and space are suspended, Big Bangs and black holes of our private and collective history are connected to face the present.

Dust ist the first collaboration of Golden Delicious (Israel / France) and Wilde & Vogel (Leipzig). Golden Delicious are the object performer and actress Inbal Yomtovian and the director and performer Ari Teperberg. Both studied at the School of Visual Theatre in Jerusalem and toured Europe with their successful performance Jonathan and the Blue Table. The Figurentheater Wilde & Vogel are the musician Charlotte Wilde and the puppeteer Michael Vogel, who have influenced the international puppetry scene for 25 years. The meeting of the two groups led to a collection of motives, songs, personal stories, puppets and objects.

SONGS FOR ALICE
a concert with puppets, based on Lewis Carroll

The strange white rabbit and the mysterious Cheshire Cat, the fat Duchess, the egg faced Humpty Dumpty and the fabulous Jabberwocky, the extincted Dodo or the rowdy twins Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum: by no means are they nice figures out of a harmless children’s story, but ludicrous representatives of a bizarre logic of the absurd and of an underlying desire. The mathematician, writer and photographer Lewis Carroll invented them to entertain his little girlfriends and collected their stories in the two novels Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, which became classics of the world literature.

Songs for Alice extracts the poems from both volumes and transforms them into scenes and songs. Puppeteer and musicians carry us off into a somnambulant twilight zone of imagination and moments of revelation which show, why Carroll’s Texts aren’t just great children’s literature but also inspired a diversity of artists like the writer James Joyce, surrealists like André Breton, the cognitive scientist Douglas R. Hofstadter or the British comedy group Monty Python.

Directed by Hendrik Mannes, this production walks the line between theatre and concert with soulful hits and noisy explosions, expressive puppets and poetic machines, quiet moments and great ballyhoo, catchy tunes and last dances.

The White Knight: “But here I must leave you. – You are sad, let me sing you a song to comfort you.“
Alice: “Is it very long?“
The White Knight: “It’s long, but very, VERY beautiful. Everybody that hears me sing it – either it brings the TEARS into their eyes, or else.”
Alice: “Or else what?“
The White Knight: “Or else it doesn’t, you know.“

I AM NOT IN A ROOM
based on Emily Dickinson's poems and biography

Bees with ordained fuzz – a fly whose buzzing is the last thing the poet hears before her own death – the stirring crickets performing their druidic spectral hymn in late August – and, in all the poems, a multitude of dashes that open up spaces, hint at the unsaid and activate the play of the reader’s imagination: These are entries into the poetic work of Emily Dickinson.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) left behind an enormously extensive oeuvre with an almost inexhaustible variety of themes, almost exclusively published posthumously. The most important female American poet almost never left her parental home throughout her life, and
Influenced by our own experiences of isolation during the lockdowns of the last couple of years, the study of Dickinson’s work leads us to further themes that are still significant today: multicultural dimensions of her thinking and poetic space, ecological aspects from a deeply felt relationship to nature, as well as questions about the individual and society that culminate in the idea of becoming one with the world.
