Visual theatre
Ulrike Quade Company creates visual theatre. We combine (puppet)play, music, dancing, literature and great scenography. With our puppets, we start with the traditional Bunraku-puppetplay, but we also go beyond these traditions, working with robots, hyperrealistic puppets (seemingly like lifelike copies of the performers) and digital cyborgs.
We aim to bring together new forms of puppetplay with modern technology. Starting from myths and stories from the past we unravel the ‘now.’ This way, we explore the future and shape it as well.
