MEDIATHEK

The Doctor in Spite of Himself – A puppet production of Moliere’s play (inspired by commedia dell’arte) about the fact that even a fake doctor can diagnose true love. A series of misunderstandings, disguises and confusions unfolds, in the course of which the woodcutter Sganarelle almost ends up on the gallows. The production, which involves the whole company, is designed above all for teenagers, and combines actors with puppet counterparts and live music.
