Musiktheaterkollektiv Hauen & Stechen:
Die Todesqualle oder wer flüstert, der lügt #3
The prince has left his family, gambled with his life and forgot his name. The princess has staked everything on one card and lost. Now they face each other naked on the roofs of the palace. Up here, the air is thin and the silence threatens to bust the eardrum. Is this love? In the third part of Die Todesqualle oder wer flüstert, der lügt, HAUEN•UND•STECHEN witness this magical encounter which they have contrived with their controversial series about the myth of the scream and the silence of nature.

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.
