THE MAN WHO MADE ANGELS FLY

To touch end­less­ness, to feel im­mor­tal­ity, to stop time these were al­ways man’s eter­nal dreams. What is the dream of a mar­i­onette? To live even if just for one mo­ment?  Michael is in­tro­duc­ing us to the world of his the­atre and with his gen­tle moves he is bring­ing it to life for the last time…for the last time he is catch­ing the mag­nif­i­cent essence of the Eu­ro­pean cul­ture and his­tory. Michael  Meschke is one of these peo­ple; he is one of the great­est liv­ing mar­i­onette mas­ters in the world, man with all his mem­o­ries, cre­ations an of the past, se­crets and for­got­ten dreams.

The­atre is not only his work­shop it’s his life. His mar­i­onettes are not only part of the the­atre; they are be­com­ing the re­flec­tions of human be­ings. And when Michael can­not give them his voice any­more, oth­ers will help him to bring in life into mar­i­onettes; to give them real voice like Irene Jacob, Jeanne Moreau, Michaela Meshke, Arne, Horche and oth­ers, those who are still alive and those who are long for­got­ten and those who will con­tinue. Michael’s life is a cel­e­bra­tion of sort of im­mor­tal­ity and per­se­ver­ance.
