PLOT#5 – Scary Fairy Tales

With the topic of SCARY FAIRY TALES , PLOT#5 carries you off to the world of legendary fairytales and sagas. The stories told in this issue not just resort to well-known clichés of the fairytale world, but are also borrowed from reality, which is why they also have a socio-critical background. Spatially, they were all staged in a way as to stimulate fantasies and (dead) serious intellectual games. Be it the fairytale of the Snow Queen, whose icy power can be felt on the stage, the exhibition on the controversial director Pier Paolo Pasolini, who suffered a brutal death, or the story of “The White Ribbon”, which is so convincing because the obvious horrors are not visible for the audience – a phenomenon Professor Klaus-Peter Platten explores in his essay on “Grey Areas” locating the horror in film-making.
