Is it crazy? Yes!
Is there a lot of skin? YES! The Faun Marsyas reveals it all; not even skin stays on!
Is it ok for children? We are not even sure it is ok for adult, bring your whole family, including grandparents and we’ll see who survives!
Will this performance help if you want to pass your test on ancient myths? Absolutely not!
Facts: Athene doesn’t like double oboe because it makes her cheeks look silly. The faun Marsyas finds it. He thinks he is the best player ever and challenges Apollo. Apollo plays the lyre and sings and wins the competition. As a reward, he decides to skin Marsyas, which transforms into a river.
More Facts: the performance takes place on 3.2.2024 at 19h at the Spandau Arcaden in one of the empty shops. Yes, exactly. Go to the shopping mall, go downstairs, look for the Deichmann shop and get through the door opposite it.
