A drawer opens...Secret messages escape and lure creatures - half man, half beast, like Centaurs.They are forcing their way into the back rooms of memory where they meet with a multi-faced death - effortlessly, dancing, almost skipping. Reflecting the artistic tradition of the Dance of the Dead from medieval iconography, a ring of poetic and bizarre metamorphoses unfolds. Accompanied by live music.

Founded in 1991 by the puppeteers Frank Soehnle and Karin Ersching, Figuren Theater Tübingen is a professional free theatre looking in its work for the borderline of puppet-theatre and other arts. Besides traditional forms of puppet-theatre areas of object- and material-theatre as well as elements of drama, fine arts and music are being used to develop new forms of theatre. With each play the ensemble breaks new grounds of formal and content realisation and questioning far away from common theatre disciplines.
