Adam’s Apples

Neo-Nazi Adam is the new arrival at Ivan’s rehabilitation camp. Pastor Ivan wants to turn Adam into a good person. But Adam fights back. ‘Good’ fights against ‘evil’, and the loser is already clear. But then a third force suddenly intervenes.

Matthias Hänsel’s fragmentarily moulded and yet eerily lively puppets look like figures from a grotesque comic – and infinitely lonely and vulnerable on the empty stage. Sebastian Kreuz slips into the characters with virtuosity, driving the story of good and evil in people forward with speed and precision as a divine, devilish puppeteer.

“Exceptional entertainment, a brilliant actor, a gripping production
with minimalist means” (Süddeutsche Zeitung)
