Farm der Tiere

Based on the novel by George Orwell
Puppet theater, drama, live music

Old Major sings a song: "Animals of England, animals of Ireland, earth animals far and wide, hearken to my tidings of joy from the golden age to come..." With this vision of freedom, equality and brotherhood, the uprising on the farm begins.
But the utopia quickly shatters. The pigs take the lead, claiming milk and apples for themselves and justifying their privileges as leaders. They consolidate their power with clever propaganda and ever new rules. Snowball, once the hero of the revolution, is declared the scapegoat, while the community becomes increasingly authoritarian and suspicious.
While the animals still sing the songs of hope and rejoice in the harvest, the question remains: when should we have woken up and resisted?
Nine puppeteers and musicians bring Orwell's bitter parable to the stage in a sensual, accurate and captivating way.
