The stage is empty, save for a large chest. Inside it can be heard feathers floating around, doors creaking and dust being stirred up. Who lives in there? In the kitchen, the kettle is whistling to itself, while up in the attic, secrets are waiting to be discovered and down in the cellar, rumours abound. And somewhere in between, a choir of carefree houseflies is humming. Limbs, heads and bodies appear and transform themselves into new and curious figures. This house is a picturesque bestiary, an organism, a living thing that is part of the neighbourhood.
Actor Annina Mosimann emerges from inside the chest with a veritable treasure trove of figures, as well as her own hands and feet. She brings it all together to make a colourful community which sings a song about living together in the most confined of spaces. Inspired by the dusty tomes of zoology books as well as classic variety music, this performance becomes a tribute to the house and to those who live in it.
