Fascinating circus-like figure, body, and movement theater full of profound images. The toxic plant genus Mandrake (Mandragora) was once attributed magical properties due to its special root form, which resembles the human figure. Here, it serves as the basis for an artistic exploration of discrimination, experiences of violence, and the exclusion of homosexuals.

For this production, the puppeteer Jan Jedenak collaborated for the first time with Al Seed, the renowned "King of Physical Theatre" from Scotland, thus expanding the aesthetic tools and narrative techniques of puppet theater with unique body and movement techniques of Physical Theatre.

Jan Jedenak studied puppetry at the Department of Puppet Theatre at the State University of Music and Performing Arts Stuttgart and Theater, Film, and Media Studies at the University of Vienna. Since 2011, he has worked as a freelance theater director and puppeteer nationally and internationally, collaborating with artists from various fields such as music, dance, performing arts, and puppetry. Guest performances with his own productions and collaborations have taken him to international festivals in France, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Lithuania, Czech Republic, Finland, Estonia, and Israel. In 2015, he won the Fritz Wortelmann Prize from Fidena and the city of Bochum for the production "SEANCE / Sequences that interpret the Invisible" (in the category of young professionals).
