The basic idea: minimize production effort, staff, organisation maximize: creativity, fun and focus on art with little concern to react flexible on themes and problems of the world we live in.
Das Helmi Puppentheater...
Treat "taboo"-stuff like talking about sex, third Reich, immigrants. To present our stuff to a not-theatre audience to escape the usual circles... and too use selfmade puppets, selfmade music, selfmade acting, selfmade stories/ texts- yes they are selfmade even if they refer to wellknown stuff...
Produktionen...
Das Helmi ist doing international projects too and will work together forexample next year with Odessa / Bayrisches Haus, Interior Producoes Brasil and probably with Anti-Aids Campaign of Mosambique
Internationale Projekte...
