"Hanna Gillgren and Heidi Rustgaard brings a choreographic gem from Britain to Meinigen where they transform George’s Off into a varieté.”

Lilo Plaschke, Thüringer Allgemein,‘Faked’ 2004

Faked 2003

Playing on the fusion between the real and surreal, the beautiful and the grotesque, Faked examines the sensations and feelings behind the mask and make up of the performer. Eccentric characters co exist in space, creating a magic world juxtaposed with the play of inner and outer realities.
