Häutungen or Skin-In-G – Miika Hyytiäinen

"Intellectually stimulating and teasingly funny art of our time."

"This three-hour, precisely timed sound structure is a confusing, constantly moving deconstruction of language, voice and sound. […] The bizarre fascination that the spectacle has created will not get out of your head so quickly."

"Voice Box was full of tongue in cheek [...] that allowed the audience to fully join in."

"The avant-garde business trip to the green creates a situational border experience with a feel-good program."

"The audience […] experiences an masterfull musical performance, which is then deconstructed in an irritating sequence of events at different locations in a deliberately bizarre manner."

"Delightful and playful experimental opera from young Finnish composer"

"The most enthusiastic reception got 'ettette' by Miika Hyytiäinen"

"Genuinely avantgardistic German music theatre."

"Ohrenvergnügendes Tafelkonfekt"

"Musically the performance is excellent."

"Miika Hyytiäinen has composed the score which is full of rich elements."

Häutungen or SkinInG, is a performance about hubris, gravitation, and looking good in and out of your skin.

Is it funny? Yes!

Is it scary? Yes!

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.
