Alice in Wonderland

In Hamburg in December 1992, we followed Bob Wilson´s final rehearsals for Alice, by Lewis Carroll, using music by Tom Waits. This chronicle of several days´ work, with different tones and atmospheres - serene or tense, light or gray, visual or musical & is an attempt to reflect the charm specific to this new portrayal: its readability, its burlesque vein, its simple and direct relationship with the story of Alice in Wonderland. But this film, inspired by the universe it describes, also explores a labyrinth in which the silence of an enigma reigns supreme. That enigma is Bob Wilson.
