Sometimes the internet can be actually quite useful.
For example, when trying to find theatre on streaming due to the current circumstances I stumbled across a dance multimedia archive, which lead me to an 8 minute clip of an avant garde theatre dance version of Alice, made by German theatre collective MS Schrittmacher.
Also it might be a critique on capitalism and money??? Maybe?
Digging further I found the full 1 hour 38 minutes on vimeo.
Very much a modern adaptation, MS Schrittmacher's Alice goes hurtling into a shopping centre after a rabbit. Wonderland is a land of disgruntled employees who all seem familiar. As far as I can tell from the credits, it does seem to be a book adaptation, just with dialogue modernized.
There's a nice physicality to the piece as well as some great comic timing. Despite being much older than other incarnations of the character, Antje Rose's Alice still carries a sense of her 7 and a half year old book self!
As I like site specific theatre, this gets a big plus from me.
Sadly the performance is in German only, but there is a press release in English and a decent review by Irish times.
Any help translating would be much appreciated!
