QUACKSALVER

Sofie Krog Teater (DK)
QUACKSALVER

Step closer, if you dare!

The Quacksalver has arrived in town—a peddler of wonders and cures for every ailment. Are you troubled by stress, hair loss, or perhaps a growing belly? Despair no more! Mr. Q has the solution in the form of his miraculous "Wonder Tonic" elixir. Just three drops a day and your life will be perfect. In this fantasy grotesque, a wondrous world hidden inside a traveling wagon unfolds before the audience, blending humour with a slight chill as the truth behind the making of this "miracle" is gradually revealed. A thrilling street show featuring puppets and mechanical tricks for the whole family.
