An interdisciplinary crew of researchers embarks on a fantastic journey into the deep sea. Equipped with cameras, sensors, and speculative protocols, they explore the movements and rhythms of sea creatures, following the mysterious kinetic literature of the animals. An encounter with a communist octopus leads to the discovery of new forms of relationship. Between science and fiction, a poetic and bizarre underwater fable emerges about loneliness, missed communication, and the longing for genuine encounter.

Jupiter, the supreme god and supreme "womanizer," has declared the beautiful Alcmene the target of his seductive powers and, for this purpose, assumes the form of her husband Amphitryon. At the same time, the messenger of the gods, Mercury, annoys Amphitryon's servant, Sosias, by transforming into him and challenging his existence. But others have the same idea. So, who is Sosias, the real, the true Sosias? Apparently, no one can claim that with any justification. His supposed wife, Cléanthis, like Alcmene, also loses herself in the interplay of different statements.

Amphitryon

Schauspielhaus Bad Godesberg

He haunts Tolstoy's text like a ghost: Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of France and bearer of a very special project. Like a collective obsession, visitors to Moscow's salons follow every piece of news about the Corsican's private and public life. Admiration and rejection, fascination and fear characterize the Russian upper class, which fears more than just Bonaparte's troops. Because like an invasion, the self-proclaimed world conqueror also brings the values ​​of the French Revolution with him: freedom, equality, fraternity and the abolition of a class-based society in favor of a rule of law. Even in the Frenchman's devastating defeat, the Russian victors pay him tribute, although nothing will change for a long time in the rigid salons of the late Tsarist Empire.
