Teater Metamorfose
Teater Metamorfose is a newly founded theatre that creates innovative and thought-provoking puppet theater for children and adults that opens up new perspectives. We combine visuality, puppets and material animation of the highest quality.
The ensemble consists of two puppeteers trained at the prestigious Ernst Busch School of Performing Arts in Berlin.
Our mission is to spread modern puppetry in Denmark and Europe, and expand the audience's perception of the genre, which has much more to offer than most people might think. In the puppets, which have no predetermined personality, the audience can mirror their own emotions. This makes the medium ideal for interpreting complex, abstract and psychological topics, and because we use no or little language, we can address audiences across social and linguistic barriers.
Paperlicious
A sensory tale of rediscovery
and embracing inner creativity.
Non-verbal puppet theatre for adults and children from 12 years
Two workaholics work their lives away in a grotesque, Kafkaesque office universe made of paper. The universe is ruled by an all-powerful boss, personified by a water dispenser filled with ink, which the two women have to drink in order to function. This office world has been the same for hundreds of years - until a small voice appears. The voice comes from the paper, which has come alive and wants change.
The paper turns into a little puppet, opening up another world where creativity and playfulness reign; and the known order of the universe is turned upside down.

TEASER FROM REHEARSAL
TESTIMONIALS
The enormous precision of the players, the expert physicality, often synchronous, leaves little out and is impressive. A grandiose idea with virtuoso play, vividly and disturbingly realized, gilded by excellent sound and light. And – all without a single spoken word.
— Jury at Freisprung Festival 2022, Rostock
(Paperlicious won the 2. place at the festival)
Evi Arnsbjerg Brygmann and Bianka Drozdik are excellent puppeteers in an innovative paper puppet performance.
There is a special strength and a certain wonder in the performance's paper puppets. In both the smaller and the giant ones. They somehow appear out of nowhere, like the folded and crumpled paper they are. At the same time, they are filled with a human-like life of their own when Evi Arnsbjerg Brygmann and Bianka Drozdik play them.
It is hardly a coincidence that the theater is called Teater Metamorfose, as metamorphosis means change, transformation, conversion and transmutation.
We are dealing with a theater that wants to innovate both form and content.
