Echsklusiv in Düsseldorf: When the Lizard Conquers the Savoy
An evening that captivates the stage: Michael Hatzius brings his cult character The Lizard and its quirky entourage to the Savoy Theater Düsseldorf with Echsklusiv. A stage experience between pointed puppet poetry and lightning-fast improvisation that ignites the theater atmosphere.
The Lizard Speaks – and the Audience Listens
With masterful acting and precise direction of his own material, Hatzius brings to life characters whose temperaments range from wise calmness to anarchic cheek. The dramaturgy and timing are spot on: dialogues spring from nowhere, driving audience reactions back and forth between liberating laughter and thoughtful pauses.
Set Design, Light, Acoustics: A Play with Nuances
The minimalist set design focuses the eye on the play of hands and voices. Fine lighting moods outline contours, while the acoustics of the hall transparently carry every nuance of the voices – from the nasal chicken to the grave lizard. This creates a theater experience that establishes closeness and makes improvisation tangible.
Dramaturgy with Bite
Echsklusiv links pointed observations of everyday life with character comedy. Hatzius modulates rhythm and pauses, builds crescendoing arcs of tension, and resolves them in surprising twists. This staging gesture recalls the tradition of political puppetry and carries it into the present – precise, witty, and ironic.
