Crazy X Oppenheimer

2025          Theater Thikwa          stage and costume design

A scientific and magical theatre project

The first collaboration between the performers of Theater Thikwa and the puppet artists of Helmi Puppentheater is a dreamlike attempt to get to the bottom of humanity’s great mysteries and horrors. How fragile is the human being in the face of the forces it has unleashed? Los Alamos in Kreuzberg! Rebuilding and reenacting: Oppenheimer’s village, a community of inventors and geniuses who think and live outside the box. Surrounded by horses and prairie. Crazy X Oppenheimer is composed of many voices and counter-voices, and is a riddle that might also be an answer.
