Through the subtle slow motion of the Bunraku-style of “Anubis”, as well as the extravagant design and engaging sound world, Uta Gebert draws you into the visual theater. Anubis, the same God and judge of the dead, leads the souls to the underworld;  this is visual theatre that highlights both an extravagant scenography and atmospheric sound world. Engrossing and unforgettable.

Cast this hereditary fear from thee!
I am no gruesome thing, no skeleton.
From Venus I’m descended, Dionysos’ son,
The god of Souls before thee thou dost see.
When thou thru summer shadows going,
Hast seen a leaf borne thru the gilded air,
‘Tis then my breath hath touched thee,
thou unknowing,
That dreamlike doth all ripened things ensnare;…
- Hugo von Hofmannsthal
