The forest air is almost motionless, a light mist hangs over the ground, and small animals rustle in the undergrowth. The hunter scans the forest for his prey. When he spots it in the distance, he takes aim – and shoots!
ESCAPE begins – like every good story – at the beginning: with the origin story of civilisation. It is the story of the hunt, in which man makes his first blood sacrifice. This beginning becomes the first symbolic moment of patriarchal narratives and identity formation.
The storyteller of ESCAPE attempts to reinterpret the world shaped by this myth through the language of puppet theatre: through associative thinking, shifts in perspective, dialogue with objects and materials, awkwardness and absurdity.
