PUNCH AGATHE

“(With Stefanie Oberhoff) … one becomes  very aware of the relevance of puppet theater.” (Taz, 16.10.2017)

“The Fidena Figurentheater Festival turns the Antonius Church into a stage for a bizarre performance. Artists spread near anarchy.” (waz.de)

PUNCH AGATHE is the biggest punch in the world. A superheroine, unpredictable, rebellious and silly, equipped with a burning lance, drill and explosives, constantly accompanied by her hippopotamus, she hurries around the globe with a musical roar and an army of ghostly jesters. Born in Melbourne, grew up in Kinshasa, Punch Agathe now comes to Bochum, makes the district court to own, takes over the church, puts the clocks after their time, breaks every morning to save the world, leaves a trail of confusion and Devastation and invites to sacred dance every night. Under the flag of Punch Agathe, as a coat of arms of non-morality, of non-sense and of anarchy, we sail in times of conjured re-and de-politicization of the arts against the wall until the porridge overcooks and the hippopotamus does so.
