The Nurses
The Nurses is a theatrical installation combining light, sound and clown like nurse puppets. Unlike traditional puppet theatre, The Nurses has no puppeteers and no actors. Instead 25 identical nurse puppets stand suspended in animation and varying decay. They are fixing, testing and preparing each other in a never-ending production line.
Since their creation in 2015, the nurse puppets have proven to be politically relevant time and time again. Witnessing the constant relevance and reoccurring narratives of under valued and under resourced healthcare professionals, Teater Animisme restaged them as an installation, combining them with light and sound to create this darkly comic almost insane scenario.

Sygeplejerskerne
En andeledes, dramatisk og tragikomisk teaterinstallation for voksne
Dette tankevækkende dukkeinvers fungerer helt uden skuespillere eller dukkeførere. Fordelt i rummet står 25 ens dukkesygeplejersker i varierende forfald, der reparerer og undersøger hinanden i et evigt gentaget mønster.
Teaterinstallationen sætter fokus på et hårdtarbejdende og presset, globalt sundhedspersonale, der, kun udstyret med få ressourcer, kæmper en hård kamp verden over. Kombinationen af lyd og lys samt det unikke dukkedesign skaber et dystert, cirkuslignende menageri med sine skræmmende, klovneagtige dukker i et skævt nærmest vanvittigt scenarie.
