Nothing is what is seems to be. Realities dissolve,
things lose their accustomed dimensions. Lewis
Carroll’s tale of Alice in Wonderland is a colorful
manifesto against the almightiness of reason in an
overly rationalized world. The systems we rely on in
everyday life collapse like a house of cards: language
leads a life of its own, logic is reduced to absurdity,
experience, education and common sense are not to
be trusted anymore.
Viktor Bodó stages Wonderland as a poetic house
of miracles, where both the norms and trap doors
of reality and the theatrical magic in itself are
tested. And Alice finds something she had never
looked for – herself.
