SENLIMA | journey with no limits (RETROFUTURISTEN)

A coprodution between Papermoon Puppet Theatre (Yogyakarta, Indonesia), the RETROFUTURISTEN (Berlin), Goethe-Institut Indonesia and HfS „Ernst Busch“ Berlin, Department for contemporary puppetry.
SENLIMA, „without borders“ in Esperanto, tells the story of a man whose life is turned upside down by six clowns overly eager to help. For they secretly observe the older gentleman's day to day life in the small white box and it turns their stomachs. One has to get out into the world! A man can't live his life like that! The clowns conspire to give luck a leg up. Enthusiastically, they free the man's only friend: a parrot. And suddenly, nothing is the same as before. For the first time in years, the man leaves the comfort of his four walls and embarks in search of his friend and his own past. The world is a strange place and danger gazes at him with two huge eyes...
SENLIMA plays with forms, combines puppetry, video art and acting and tells of stigmatisms, fear and that glorious freedom with great ease.
