Lebensraum

LebensraumT923083192
Based on Buster Keaton's The Scarecrow (1920), Lebensraum brings silent movie magic to the stage. Two inventors live together in a tiny room. Lack of space is not an issue, a system of ropes and pulleys brings everything to hand and furniture has multiple functions - the bed is a piano, the bookcase serves as a fridge. Life runs smoothly until the two create a female robot to take care of domestic chores. But their extremely life-like creation has a mind of its own and soon goes out of control... Rich in humour and technical magic, Lebensraum creates a surreal world that obeys its own logic.
