Musiktheaterkollektiv Hauen & Stechen:
Cazza Ragazza - Puccinis letztes Lied
The cunning romantic Puccini has chased HAUEN∙UND∙STECHEN deep into his sentimental labyrinth of love and violence. The princes are dead, the limbs are heavy and the eyes are soapy with melancholy. But who needs a clear view of a place in which everything gets too close to you? With the conclusion of their Puccini series the collective takes revenge on lost illusions: the shot-down swallows lay like stones on the ground. They persevere in order to become a barricade in this decisive battle.

Hauen & Stechen was founded as a laboratory for moving, cross-border, and cross-genre musical theater. It initially worked in the cellars of Galerina Steiner, where the collective attracted attention with a special series of performances: a staging course was performed for different groups on one evening until they were completely exhausted. Here it developed its style, which blends influences from opera, visual arts and film with performative elements to create an idiosyncratic and opulent theatrical language. The pieces deliberately leave space for impulses and interaction with the audience and take place in an intensely intimate setting.
