Why go

A billionaire returns to the impoverished town that cast her out and offers its residents a fortune for one man’s death. Nikolaus Habjan’s staging uses puppetry to keep the moral balance between victim and perpetrator unsettled. The production is recommended from age 14, and this performance is currently sold out.
