ALICE!
A play with music by Sigrun Fritsch and Robin Haefs freely adapted from “Alice in Wonderland” and “Alice behind the Mirrors” by Lewis Carroll

ALICE! is a production that turns Lewis Carroll’s work on its head, because here it is interpreted by 30 young people from Darmstadt and the surrounding area. “Who are you?” asks the caterpillar, thus putting Alice in a difficult position to explain herself, as she is currently in a state of constant transformation. This is (unfortunately) familiar as a young person: what just seemed like a good plan suddenly seems either too daring or too boring. Quite apart from the fact that it is not at all easy to know what, where and who you actually want. Or even who you are or want to be.

“Alice in Wonderland” is probably one of the craziest stories in literature and one of the classics par excellence.
“Some time ago, I had the idea that “Alice in Wonderland” would be a great project to implement with many young people,” says Sigrun Fritsch in an interview with FRIZZ editor Martina Noltemeier. The management team with Sigrun Fritsch and Robin Haefs from Berlin and Freiburg can look back on a series of successful theater productions with the action theater PAN.OPTIKUM and Rapucation. Oliver Brunner, acting director of the Staatstheater Darmstadt, was equally enthusiastic about the idea, especially since the name Alice is particularly preoccupied in Darmstadt – think Princess Alice.
