Crazy old me - Karin Schäfer Figuren Theater, Austria

What does it mean to grow old as a puppeteer, as a theatre maker? Karin Schäfer explores this question with equal depth and wit. She appears as her own hundred-year-old alter ego, and simultaneously as her personified memory.

It is a memory of more mobile, more agile times. Eyes weaken, hands tremble, posture bends. Things slip from our grasp - literally.

But what remains is the will to play. After all, none of this can be taken too seriously! Making theatre means experimenting, having the courage to fail, and the drive to keep going.
