Masks in theatre practice

What's behind the mask?

They have been well-known guests at the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival for many years - the Familie Flöz Theatre Company is known for its innovative mix of drama and mask theatre, which works without words and is therefore understood all over the world. In their unique productions, they breathe life into the masks and tell stories about human relationships and emotions without words. Theatre enthusiasts - amateurs and professionals alike - now have the opportunity to take a look behind the scenes in a workshop and try their hand at mask acting.

Michael Vogel, co-founder of Familie Flöz, is returning to Kiel as part of the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival to give anyone interested an insight into the work of the theatre group. Participants will become active themselves and learn how to play with the masks typical of Familie Flöz. They will practise bringing life to the inanimate objects and explore the question of what other ways you can express yourself when your own face is hidden under a rigid mask.
