Taxidermists believe that it is possible to bring a dead creature back to life. In “Still Life”, the Ljubljana Puppet Theatre tries to do just that.

With nine stuffed rabbits tracked down in online shops, the ensemble embarks on a sensual but calm reflection on life through the lens of it being a phenomenon straddling life and death. This opening production of “Theater der Dinge” revolves around the idea of naturalness and poses fundamental questions about our relationship with the animal world. How much respect do we have for the beauty of nature?

Young Slovenian director Tin Grabner shifts between genres, having worked on both theatre and film productions. He is also a winner of several awards for his puppet theatre productions. And now, for the first time, one of his productions is being staged in Berlin.
