Theater Bunte Büchse
publicity for theatre productions |
|
The theatre company, whose German name literally translated means "colourful box", was founded by the eurythmist and director Birgit Hering. Originally the company's repertoire consisted mainly of performances of fairy tales for children, featuring, music, song, eurythmic dance, poetry and puppets.
In recent years it has "grown up", and now presents complex shows for adults. Galgenbruders Nachtgesang (2015), for example, is poetic collage of mini dramas, speech, music and eurythmy, based on the works of the German poet Christian Morgenstern.
Birgit Hering works with a wide variety of actors, dancers, artists, musicians and composers, including Carlo Domeniconi, Roland Bittmann and Il-Ryun Chung, who have also composed music for her productions.
I have worked with Birgit since 2004, designing publicity (posters, flyers, postcards, programmes, websites ...) for her productions.
More images and information will be added to this page as soon as time allows. |

Der gestiefelte Kater 2020
poster, flyer, postcard |
|
Theater Bunte Büchse production of Der gestiefelte Kater (Puss in boots), a play for children 4-8 years old, with music, puppets and Eurythmy. Freely adapted from the story by the Brothers Grimm, it has long been part of the theatre company's repertoire. A very different interpretation of the tale from the British slapstick Christmas pantomime tradition.
Performed by Birgit Hering. The music, composed by Carlo Domeniconi, is played on the accordion by Mikail Yakut.
