GRUSEL

The theater space becomes a strange place with crackling corners and creaking doors. Sounds create strange worlds and strange figures appear - or seem to be very close to you. 

Sometimes it can be dark and sometimes very loud. The wind can blow through your hair or an ice-cold hand can touch your shoulder. You will encounter strange adults, ghosts and monsters, as well as strange adults and real dangers and, of course, a good ghost. But don't worry: nothing will happen to you. Maybe you'll get goosebumps and maybe you'll laugh at your own horror.

pulk fiktion is in search of the pleasurable horror and attempts to give the fantastic horrors as well as the real horrors of the world a pleasurable performance.

At GRUSEL, theatrical live radio play means that the audience sits together on stage and listens to something through headphones, but also experiences things in parallel in the room.
