FATA MORGANA
inspired even the ancient Greeks. They compared the mirage with a fairy of treacherous beauty. The spectacle is a phantasmal fairy tale about the beginnings of the human race. Atlas carries the world on his shoulders. Eve seduces him and the world explodes. Volcanic eruptions lead to the first primitive life. Amphibians creep out of the water to be greeted by insect-like creatures. Primal forces and instincts rule. Many strange creatures appear: a giant balloon gives birth to a woman, a wormy love couple makes the audience melt, a comic slimy green beast is trying to find its legs, an elastic six armed creature is tossed in the air, Medusa appears in the dark and eats them all. A giant butterfly announces the dawn. A humorous love duet transform the creatures into people who surrender to the beauty of the volcano. A treacherous beauty: a Fata Morgana.

Daredevil acrobatics, dance movements, humorous situations and mirage-like shadow-silhouettes are the ingredients that are combined to form this spectacle without a text. A spectacle for young and old alike. The story, the mystery, the illusion, the physical risk taking and the generous dose of humor make the performances of Corpus readily accessible, even for an audience not versed in dance, movement or acrobatic theatre. Fata Morgana is visited by an audience of all ages. It is played for schoolkids and adults, as long as it is in a theatre.
