Frankenstein – a hyped up society – a myth of the creative human being – the story of hubris.
Driven by the passion for the experiment, the pleasure of the mutual game, to make the dead matter alive. 4 puppeteer and 2 music artists from three different generations with alchemy, magic and electricity the risky underpinned of the confusion. They amalgamate six artistic approaches on a material that frightens the people in a soft way, since the British author Mary Shelley contrive it in Lake Geneva in the year 1816. Throughout the centuries the creation of the monster is seen as a romantic project for different aspirations and fears. The infernal, divine and iridescent music in the laboratory will make your blood boil.
