Myths in the Spotlight: ‘Arthur and the Women of the Round Table’ in Ansbach
A stage event full of sophistication: Two women traverse the legend surrounding King Arthur and transform silence into tension. Hand puppets, precise direction, and a pointed play with expectation and memory shape an intense stage experience at the Ansbach theater.
Dynamic Dramaturgy
From narrative fragments arises a cleverly constructed theater evening: The production concentrates the dramaturgy on encounters, power plays, and visions. A round table as a symbol, an invincible sword as a promise – both become a projection surface for questions about community, responsibility, and utopia.
Set Design, Light, Acoustics
Reduced set design, variable lighting moods, and precisely set sound spaces: This creates a suggestive theater atmosphere in which 12 hand puppets come to life. The finely tuned sound design makes quiet moments feel grand, while lighting accents model intrigues, doubts, and courage.
Acting Arts in Puppetry
The performers bring the characters to life with great delicacy: A clown who confounds, a devil who lures, Merlin who is absent when needed – these subtle breaks carry the production. The shift between tempo and concentrated silence keeps the audience's reactions alert and attentive.
Between Tradition and Contemporary Perspective
The Arthurian legend meets contemporary questions here: How can a peaceful coexistence be envisioned when everything threatens to fall apart? The direction intensifies classical motifs theatrically and finds images that resonate – subtly, humorously, thought-provokingly.
Conclusion: A concentrated, sensual theater experience for adults and youth aged 16 and above. Those who love poetic images, precise direction, and skilled puppetry should not miss this evening.
