Alice im Wunderland

In the organizer's words:

by Lewis Carroll | Production: Florian Dehmel

It is one of the most famous stories in world literature. The Mad Hatter, the Queen of Hearts, the Smoking Caterpillar, the Cheshire Cat and many others are iconic characters from the book published in 1865. In addition, Caroll's brilliant wit and the unique logic of his fantasy world make this text so unique. The story of the girl Alice, who follows the White Rabbit into Wonderland, is deeply engraved in the collective consciousness, not least due to countless quotations in pop culture (the evening documents this musically)...

In "Alice in Wonderland", Lewis Carroll celebrated the anarchic power of childish nonsense. It is funny, sad and bitter at the same time, and the question arises: What is Wonderland actually? Who would Alice be today? Where exactly does she end up? Is this world into which she falls really childishly innocent or is there not something disturbingly violent underneath it all?

The Stuttgarter Zeitung: "Florian Dehmel's production relies on the confusion and overwhelming effect that the colorful, shrill appropriation of the material by a very playful ensemble can offer."

We recommend the performance for audiences aged 14 and over.
