The project is a theatrical adaptation of the German folk tale - Tyll Eulenspiegel. The story of Tyll masterfully weaves the fates of many characters into this enchanting work of magical realism and adventure. His journey takes him, also the audience, through the regions ravaged by the Thirty Years' War.
Tyll is a magnificent story of an artist's transcendence over the petty superstitions, convenient betrayals and widespread brutality of his time. Tyll uses magical realism to offer an implicit critique of society, most notable politics and the elite. The pandemic that ravaged and is still ravaging the globe, the wars that are destroying cultures and countries give an immediacy to the life and journey of Tyll, however magical realism it may be.
