The Belgian company Karyatides has made a name for itself worldwide with its theatrical adaptations of musical and literary masterpieces. After "Madame Bovary", "Carmen" and "Les Misérables", the ensemble now turns its attention to the tragic figure of the young scientist Victor Frankenstein. Frankenstein's desperate attempt to bring his deceased mother back to life fails. Although he succeeds in creating a 'creature', he is unable to love it. The catastrophe takes its course.
In a beguiling combination of virtuoso object theater, lyrical singing and piano, the production awakens understanding and compassion for the actions of the characters and at the same time questions the limits of human creativity.
"A subtle piece of sober precision and haunting beauty." (Le Soir)
