Pericles, Prince of Tyrus, experiences his life as a traveler, man on the run, seeker, one of Peer Gynt's elder brothers, in the rarely-performed, and thus all the more welcome, Shakespearian romance.

Thomas Weber-Schallauer portrays Shakespeare's late work as an impressive sheet of traveling pictures using four actors and three puppets.

Graceful, serene, yet haunting and melancholy: the unbelievable story of Pericles' journey in life unfolds in front of our eyes, characterised by ordeals and blows of fate: betrayal, escape, storm, shipwreck, miraculous rescue, love and loss- and ultimately reconciliation. So lovely, yet eerie- that's Shakespeare for you.
