In The Man with the Top HatTeater Visuell remembers the great Swedish poet Nils Ferlin and his work through associative images and visual storytelling.

In The Man with the Top Hat by Teater Visuell nobody knows who the man with the top hat is. The answer is meant to be undecided and to open for thoughts about humans we more or less consider different and outsiders, outside of our company. Their characters and behaviours aren’t considered ideal, but fill us with longing; That’s why we are fascinated by them.
