Kellerteater "The Canterville Ghost"

The performance is based on Oscar Wilde’s world-famous short story “The Canterville Ghost”. It is the result of a collaboration between two young talented creators – Teele Uustani and Sandra Lange.

The production uses puppetry as well as object theater. It is intended for young audiences that appreciate a mixture of spooky thrills and humor. 

The spirit of Lord Canterville had a brilliant career. This ghost has been successful at terrorizing the occupants of his castle for centuries. Until one day he suffers a setback. Colliding with the modern world, the ghost becomes acquainted with a family that absolutely fails to not notice him. The family in fact does not notice anyone or anything except their gadgets. Adding insult to injury, when this newly arrived family finally becomes aware fo the ghost’s existence, he find out that has no effect on them. On the contrary, the spirit of Lord Canterville is now on the receiving end of terror, He is the one being bullied. The ghost resents the unbearable circumstances and flees onto the basement of the castle, where he tries unsuccessfully to find some peace. At this point the ghost has nothing to lose. He resorts to the most terrible actions and terrifying stunts, but he has lost his touch and everything goes awry. In the end, the spectator must choose for herself whether to join those who bully the ghost or to empathize with him.
