If you’re reading this, I’m guessing you’re more than a little curious. But are you ready to take a tumble? Who knows where you’ll end up - this is Wonderland after all. We’ve all been following our own White Rabbits and we’re all simply terrified of the Queen of Hearts. Or are we? Saying what we mean is the same thing as meaning what we say, isn’t it? Mind the step or you’ll lose your mind. Enjoy the pepper, play croquet, try your best to speak the right way. Avoid the time, don’t cry when you’re sad, don’t talk to the Hatter or you’ll see that he’s mad. But you can’t help that - we’re all mad here… The day you become Alice is a very special day indeed.
“It all started long before I came here… It started all in my mind... It started with a magic spell…”
“My first impression of Wonderland was absolute freedom.”
“The first thing was the cold. Minus 14, bone chilling cold. I waited by the station watching the trains glide, almost silently along the tracks. I’d forgotten the instructions, I didn’t know what train to get and I’d worn entirely the wrong kind of shoes.”
“I first came to Wonderland with friends in 1986 when I was still in high school.”
Our previous productions:
A Berlin Summer Night's Dream
based on a play by Willy S.
In this modernized version of the Shakespearean classic, set in our beloved city of contemporary magic, the fairies are nightclub staff, the magic is ecstasy and Lysander has been transformed into Lysandra. As our "mechanicals" jostle for a shot at fame and quarreling couples attempt to make sense of love, a potion mix-up leads to a conflict of existential proportion. Had they added Puck as their facebook friend it might have saved them from the ensuing chaos.
Join us as we bring sexy back to the forest of fairies and let the love juice fly.

Drogengeschwängerte Nachtclubversion eines Shakespeare Klassikers.
DJane Titanias Feen bilden die Nachtclubcrew. Die magische Blume heisst Ecstasy. Aus Lysander wird Lysandra, die um Hermias Hand anhält. BSR-Männer versuchen sich als Superstars. Zwei zankende Pärchen wühlen sich durch den Berliner Club-Dschungel zur wahren Liebe. Ein Drogencocktail entpuppt sich als Augenwischer und verklärt den Blick von liebestollen Partygängern. Hätten sie sich mit Puck auf Facebook befreundet, wäre das womöglich nicht passiert.
