A Farewell Evening that Sets Memories in Motion

With DÉJÀ-VU: 7 Years Reordered, the puppet theater section of the Music Theater in Revier says farewell to Gelsenkirchen after seven years. The evening at the Kleine Haus is not a nostalgic look back, but a cleverly constructed stage experience: playful, reflective, and infused with that theatrical atmosphere where snippets, figures, and memories create new meaning.

When Archive Material Becomes Poetry

The concept dives deep into the workshop of remembering. The MiR puppet ensemble sorts its past productions not tidily chronologically, but follows its own categories: What was eaten on stage? When did the theater talk about the weather? Where did horses appear? This surprising dramaturgy makes the evening appealing because it makes both order and chaos visible.

Puppetry, Music, and Live-Evolving Images

Especially exciting is the connection between puppetry, music, and a live-built stage. Stage musician Michael Wilhelmi quotes sounds from earlier productions and adds compositions created specifically for this evening. Selma Lindgren not only designs the set but further shapes the stage during the performance. This creates a production that transforms before the audience’s eyes and celebrates the art of the moment.

An Evening Between Humor, Philosophy, and Farewell

The farewell evening does not stop at mere recollection. According to the official announcement, it becomes entertaining, orderly, partly absurd, and partly philosophical. The strength of this puppet theater production lies precisely here: it connects acting artistry, material aesthetics, and subtle irony into an evening that speaks not only to connoisseurs but also sparks curiosity about the open play with forms, figures, and meanings.
