by Philippe Quesne
Director: Philippe Quesne

World premiere on 16/10/2025 at the SchauSpielHaus

When the future darkens, tales of vampires are in vogue. Indeed, there is no people on earth to whom these stories are alien. No people on earth to whom nature, which they learned to control and consume, has not returned as a terrifying figure. The visual artist, scenographer, and director Philippe Quesne is a master of whimsical and fantastical image theater. In multi-layered scores, he weaves aesthetic and scientific questions into tender, melancholic, and exceedingly serene panoramas of our time, in which the momentum of transformation always plays a decisive role. As the head of the French performance group Studio Vivarium, he has been one of Europe's most successful theater makers for more than two decades.

For the first time, he will now direct at the Deutsches SchauSpielHaus in Hamburg, bringing together members of the Studio Vivarium and our ensemble, and together with them defying the fears of our present.

Concept, direction, stage and costumes: Philippe Quesne
Stage design collaboration: Elodie Dauguet
