Punch & Judy
Austrian Coverversion
For adults
Mr. Punch first appeared around 1662 on the streets of London. He is Mr. Kasperl's uncivilized relative.
In conflict with the devil, death, and the police, he has only one response: his slapstick. A fireworks display of dark humor. The most macabre puppet show in the world!
Gerti Tröbinger learned the Punch & Judy show from the British puppeteer Rod Burnett. In this work, she seeks to connect traditional roots with contemporary regional influences.
