PAPERLICIOUS
A sensory tale of rediscovery
and embracing inner creativity.
Non-verbal puppet theatre for adults and children from 12 years
Two workaholics work their lives away in a grotesque, Kafkaesque office universe made of paper. The universe is ruled by an all-powerful boss, personified by a water dispenser filled with ink, which the two women have to drink in order to function. This office world has been the same for hundreds of years - until a small voice appears. The voice comes from the paper, which has come alive and wants change.
The paper turns into a little puppet, opening up another world where creativity and playfulness reign; and the known order of the universe is turned upside down.

How dreary and supervised can a human being be before something happens to break the spell of external determination? All paper ... and then it turns into life, which turns everything upside down, becomes independent and throws the world, which is pressed into cantons, out of joint. Self-empowerment at its finest, played with virtuosity and without a single spoken word. Wow! Leaves the audience full of goose bumps.
