Bambi – The Wilderness Years

In the performance "Bambi – The Wilderness Years" by Green Ginger Bambi is not a deer, but a street boy. He is standing in an alley in a big city, tagging. Green Ginger attacks the classic story with regular lack of respect: Here are heavily masked actors, grotesque puppets, animated stage design and images sharp as awls. This is boundary-breaking puppetry.

In "Bambi – The Wilderness Years" the audience is taken on a phenomenal trip through the backstreets of the underworld. Here are sad watering holes, dubious night clubs and a colourful menagerie of metropolitan night wanderers.

"Bambi – The Wilderness Years" is the last performance in a trilogy in which "Slaphead" and "Frank Einstein" were the two former.
