EARTH

A visual and symbolic journey to ideas about what lies beneath the surface – in the dust, stone, and memory of the landscape. The production is inspired by the mythologies of the indigenous peoples of the southwestern United States, without appropriating these traditions. A fascination with their worldview, the connection between man and the earth and the spiritual order, becomes the starting point for our own artistic exploration of the balance between the visible and the invisible.

The Loutex Festival—the sixth edition of a showcase that highlights and supports independent puppet theater for adults, with a special focus on experimental works, and genre-specific pieces. Loutex also focuses on forging closer links between puppet theater and the visual arts, thereby seeking to build on the tradition of artistic puppet theater.
