"Alchemist in Love"

"Alchemist in Love"

Magical horror comedy without spoken language.
Length 50 minutes

An extremely talentless, yet enthusiastic follower of the world-famous alchemist Heinricus Cornelius Agrippa, has settled in a theatre basement of a small provincial town. In addition to all his life failures, the young man is now madly in love with the theatre's prima donna. Magic and alchemy are the only things that can help him win the heart of the admired beauty.
Nothing will stand in the way of his love. The situation quickly becomes dangerous for himself and for everyone who comes near him.

This speechless story was born as an inspiring collaboration between director and playwright Vahur Keller and magician Meelis Kubo. This is where theatre, magical realism, and magic illusions meet and intertwine into a thrilling theatre experience.
