Who is afraid of the black dog?!
A ghost is haunting Europe, an eerie virus is spreading: fear! Fear of the apocalypse, of refugees, of social decline, of war, of everything.
Great Britain also seems to be infected already. The result: mass hysteria, incitement, fantasies of isolation, Brexit. An evidently easy game for populists and other dark powers that thrive on this fermenting soil.
Time for Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson! With expertise, progress, courage, and wit, they investigate their toughest case and provide an example of how to drain the swamp of fear: an infernal ghost dog is supposed to roam the misty Dartmoor. An ancient family curse of the Baskervilles shrouds like fog over mire, peat, and mud. Panic, death, despair. In the end, however, nothing is as it seems. Redemption and hope – far beyond national borders…
With the power of modern folk theater, NN Theater Köln dedicates itself to this highly relevant material and carries the message of positivity to all social classes. The ensemble creates theater for everyone, for young and old, for those distant from theater and those close to it. With disrespectful respect for the original. Humor is the strongest weapon against the unsettling developments of the present.
