The Masks of the Fools

A wild and colourful journey across the elements of life while consistently changing... packed in a mythic-surrealistic tribute to Maurice Ravel´s "Alborada del gracioso" ~ "The morning song of the fool" and Khalil Gibran´s "The Fool". The guiding theme of this Gesamtkunstwerk is "both as well as". The complete artwork composed of pantomime, silent film, ballet, dance theatre, live action, animation and fine arts blurs the lines between mediadesign and art and shows that there is always more than just one truth...
