In ‘HERDE und STALL’ a handful of dancers and actors live with a handful of goats, fawns, calves and birds in a shared enclosure. They form a small herd, first on their farm, then in SZENE’s theatre space. Here a hearing is held for all the senses in which animals and people each have their own ideas: the goats take care of their young, the fawns practice climbing, the calf holds itself back – and the humans tell stories.
In his new production Hubert Lepka examines the issue of
human settlement. What did this step mean for our civilization? Even the Old Testament offers a template that is similar to an instruction manual for farmers: an evening is woven around the tale of Abraham and his son Isaac about the relationship between humans and farm animals, agriculture and livestock, loyalty and sacrifice.
