Dorothee Metz (Berlin/Germany)
On The Things of Nature
Company
Dorothee Metz studied puppetry at the Ernst Busch Academy for Performing Arts in Berlin and has worked on a variety of projects. The show she is presenting here is her graduation piece.
Performance
This is no ordinary pram you see before you – not only is it being pushed by an angel, but there is a miniature baroque street theatre piece after Goethe’s ballad, The Fisherman, raging on the inside as well. Half drew him in, half lured him in – for four and a half minutes in this small-format paradise the mermen are still as close to being real men as the mermaids are to singing gracefully. Only one person can watch and listen at a time! The solitary spectator appears to be gazing through an in-built magnifying glass at the stage of a great opera house, with its moving figures, cords, opulent costumes and all manner of shifting scenes, to experience the Undine topos as a live comic animation in an ironic and subtle form, which, in this instance, concludes with a completely unexpected curtain line.
