Throw in some great characters with an off the wall ending and you have one very funky puppet show!

In the depths of a decrepit theatre a beautiful Diva, her lovesick butler, a mischievous lab assistant and a mad scientist are about to collide. Be lured into an inferno of evil schemes, love and obsession, as each character endures an ill-fated night that may well be their last!

A dirty and immoral trick ruins the Diva’s performance setting off a chain of events that has unforeseen consequences. The theatre reveals new dimensions and madness takes over.

Be captivated by this almost wordless performance from Denmark that takes place in a transforming, revolving theatre featuring seven stages and twenty-one curtains. Everything can be moved, opened, closed, hoisted and lowered.

Cartoon comedy, bizarre poetry and amazing dexterity create drama in a unique and magical universe not to be missed.

Be entertained and astounded by Sofie Krog’s sheer skill and talent. She has been loved by audiences everywhere she has played!

Revealing, unschooled, and crazy. Abstract picture poetry.”
