Verwandlung. Das Spiel mit der Maske

Playing with the mask
The mask conceals and reveals at the same time. It is an empty form that only comes to life through the body. In his inaugural performance, Björn Leese explores the art of transformation through the mask.
What happens when a mask is put on? When does a figure begin to breathe, to feel, to exist? How does the perception of the performer and the audience change? These questions are at the heart of the evening. We experience how different masks are brought to life through movement, rhythm and breath.
The performance thus becomes a poetic journey about origins, change and identity, in which characters emerge who need no words to tell their stories.
