Bambie speelt Bambi Mimetheatergroep Bambie
It had to happen: a performance about the little deer that Mimetheatergroep Bambie is named after. Who hasn't been enchanted by the most famous children's film of all time? And what does it actually tell us? In the Walt Disney version, Bambi grows up in an idyllic forest where all the talking animals are friends, and he finds his destiny with a romantic partner and as a father to new Bambis. But that is a heavy romanticization of the original story. In the 1923 book by the Austrian writer Felix Salten, nature is cruel and Bambi remains alone. Because to be able to survive, you must learn to rely on yourself.
In its own visual theatrical language - wildly absurdist and emotionally charged - Mimetheatergroep Bambie contrasts Disney romance with Salten realism. Iconic film scenes are given a new translation: Bambi's cute birth, the slapstick slipping on the ice, the death of Bambi's mother, the hormonal discovery of love. The forest is a home where the elements of nature intrude. Inhabited by human figures with animal instincts. In Bambie speelt Bambi, three individuals seek a personal answer to the question of what our 'natural' destiny is. And what life lessons are needed to grow up in this day and age.
