The performance “Open the Owl“ brings back to stage the miniature characters from “The Owl Castle“, created by Slovenian puppeteer Milan Klemenčič in 1936. Puppeteer and director Renaud Herbin merges traditional puppetry art with the context of contemporary performance practices. Novelist Célia Houdart upgrades Franz von Pocci’s story into a contemporary philosophical tale. Due to the exceptional set the audience is challenged to reconsider their attitude towards illusion and reality.
