Der Nussknacker

A classic, radically reinterpreted Marco Goecke's interpretation of the ballet classic The Nutcracker surprises: it deliberately breaks with familiar images, opens up unfamiliar perspectives and takes us into a fanciful, quirky world somewhere between (nightmare) dream and reality. Accompanied by the mysterious border-crosser Drosselmeier, the two children Fritz and Marie experience joy, splendour and wonder, but also disappointment, shadow and decay.
