No other version of the popular story of a mermaid who falls in love with a human being and has to give up form and nature to do so tells a story about nocturnal parallel worlds that is nearly as ghostly and beautiful as Antonín Dvořák's opera Rusalka. And nobody knows their way around there as well as the dazzling drag performers* with whom director Bastian Kraft doubles Dvořák's forest and water beings - experts* of transformation and beautiful appearances in the spotlight. Through lip syncing, they make the fairy tale of the mermaid and the prince their own. In Rusalka , alongside a top-class ensemble of singers, they are searching for a life in which who we love and who we are no longer decides whose existence takes place in the light and whose in the dark.
