Ein Tiger kommt ins HKW

The tiger has now been in Berlin for many years. He loves currywurst, has got used to the gray weather, and found new friends. However, he is still constantly asked: Where do you actually come from? Is your fur real? Are you dangerous? Can I stroke you?

A lot of people are frightened of him, others find him elegant or somehow interesting. Either way he is always seen as being different, even though he has long since found a new home in Berlin. He has begun to ask himself who he actually is. In search of compatriots he has heard of a place with 2 or 3, or even more tigers, and heads off straight away to meet them.

In the workshop participants will explore the figure of the tiger between fantasy and projection. With a sketchbook and an introduction to exciting artistic techniques you will draw your own tiger picture.

On May 21, these will form part of a board game on the tiger’s travels and stories. At the end every participant will receive a game to take home with them.

On June 11, these will form part of a cutout animation film on the tiger’s travels and stories. At the end every participant will receive a copy of the film.
