“Alice on the Run – the fascinating open-air production on the theme of home, expulsion, being on the run, but also hope and future both impressed and touched the audience”
Westfälische Nachrichten, Münster (D)
“Theater Titanick in Münster addresses the topic of being on the run with their new open-air production – doing this in their own poetic and imaginative way. Alice on the Run sends Lewis Caroll’s famous protagonist on a modern odyssey instead of Wonderland”
The stage
Three moving cubes and a giant chess board pyramid form the set of the production. The performing area is a circle. The house is destroyed by forklifts that rip it into three parts and carry them away. These will then in turn be transformed into the different worlds or situations that Alice will travel to on her journey. Her journey and the stops on the way take place within the audience. The stage set was designed by André Böhme from the Leipzig Art School and constructed by the Titanick technicians.
