Feathers drift through the air, dust shimmers, creaking doors echo… In the kitchen, the kettle whistles. In the attic, buried secrets lie waiting to be uncovered, and down in the cellar, a distant rumble can be heard. Who lives here? BESTIARIUM is an investigation into the house as a living being and a space of coexistence. Using puppets, found objects and familiar household figures, a stage bestiary of forgotten creatures emerges from an old shipping crate. Limbs, heads and bodies morph and rearrange. Inspired by dusty zoology books and classic vaudeville acts, these curious beings sing us stories about life together in tight quarters. A tribute to the home and to all those who live within it.

  • Annina Mosimann is inside a wooden box. She is sticking her head out of the box, up to the middle of her face. Her hair, braided into two plaits, stands upright above her head. A large lightbulb hangs from the lid of the box, just above her head.
