In this thousandyearold tale from India, a group of learned blind men argue over what an elephant is. Each of them touches a different part of the animal, then each describes the elephant completely differently.<\/p>\n

In modern Europe, the elephant is continually re-described: as a gift to dignitaries, a commodity, a circus attraction, a scientific object, a hunting trophy, a zoo inhabitant, or genetic decoding.<\/p>\n

The question remains: What is an elephant?<\/p>\n

A theatre intervention with a multigenerational cast from the Stadttheater Spandau.<\/p>\n
