The performance is inspired by selected short stories – The Pit and the Pendulum, Hop-Frog and The Masque of the Red Death, which form the basic dramaturgic structure and are interconnected with a series of atmospheres and messages as varied as Poe’s work. “He who has never swooned, is not he who finds strange palaces and wildly familiar faces in coals that glow is not he who beholds floating in mid-air the sad visions that the many may not view is not he who ponders over the perfume of some novel flower-is not he whose brain grows bewildered with the meaning of some musical cadence which has never before arrested his attention.” (Edgar Allan Poe: The Pit and the Pendulum) ![]()
