Duck, Death and Tulip - Puppet Theatre

The Indian premiere of Duck, Death and Tulip by Martina Couturier of Theatre Couturier & Ikkola from Berlin, Germany will be staged at the AHA! International Theatre for Children Fest ’12  at Ranga Shankara.

Duck, Death and Tulip by Martina Couturier was the winner of Icarus 2009 and one of the ten most notable German children's theatre productions to the Festival: Augenblick Mal! in Berlin in 2009.

“After the unparalleled success of Boy with a Suitcase, we are delighted to continue our tradition of bringing imaginative children’s theatre to Bangalore, providing inspiration to local talent”, says Christoph Bertrams, Director, Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan Bangalore.

Ranga Shankara’s Arundhati Nag rates this play among her all-time favourites for children: “After we are born, death is the only other finality. This play demystifies and poetically displays to children that death need not be feared”.

Couturier & Ikkola's Duck, Death and the Tulip by Martina Couturier, with live music, based on the children's book by Wolf Erlbruch:

Duck has lived her calm and quiet life, as an unexpected guest shows up at the lake - Death. After the initial fear Duck invites Death to bathe. Slowly, the two come closer, and yet at the inevitable end, Death is even a little sad - but that's life.
