Momo
A visual poem based on the novel by Michael Ende
Staging: Alexander Giesche
- 100% Auslastung
Momo listens. Her friends come to the ruins of an old theatre to tell her stories. Due to her gift for listening, Momo becomes a threat to an entire system of timesaving, with which the ghostly “Men in Grey” mean to control the population. Alexander Giesche and his team turn the fantasy novel into an urban landscape and atmospheric meditation on what happens when time becomes a scarce commodity or gift that has to be continually reimagined. The stage becomes a fictional space of peaceful retreat. It abounds with time capsules that can prolong a moment into an eternity or contract it into the blink of an eye.
After Man in the Holocene and AFTERHOUR, Momo is the third work to find Alexander Giesche addressing the end of things. In the uncertain hope that another end of the world is indeed possible.
