Whether it’s the disembodied Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter or the wicked Queen of Hearts – Lewis Carroll’s adventure story »Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland« is brimming with whimsical ideas and has long been one of the most beloved tales in children’s bedrooms. In his choreography, Mirko Mahr imaginatively brings this timeless children’s classic to life for all children and adults who are young at heart.

It all begins with the White Rabbit: Alice follows him out of curiosity and finds herself in a wondrous world full of strange characters and absurd situations. She attends a bizarre tea party and plays croquet with an army of playing cards, yet the greatest mystery is Alice herself. Sometimes too big, sometimes too small, but always full of courage, she faces the ludicrous trials of Wonderland and, in doing so, explores the all-important question: »Who on earth am I?«

The story, which the eccentric mathematics lecturer Charles Lutwidge Dodgson devised during a boat trip on the Thames to entertain 10-year-old Alice Liddell and her sisters, and published in 1865 under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll, takes its readers into a world of nonsense world where the laws of language and logic are suspended, and which to this day inspires not only children to dream.
