Moosleute: A Contemporary Moss Fable Inspired by Germanic Folklore

Moosleute: A Contemporary Moss Fable Inspired by Germanic Folklore is a movement-driven devised work that follows three moss-born spirits as they awaken in a forest bog and discover both the wonder and the danger of modern temptation. Through physical storytelling and minimal text, the piece traces their journey from childlike innocence to distraction and dependency, and ultimately toward reclamation of their truest selves. Blending mythic imagery with present-day relevance, Moosleute invites audiences to reflect on the forces that pull us away from ourselves—and the quiet courage it takes to return.

Heather is a self-appointed caretaker of her psychiatric ward, a place where the madness of the patients clashes with that of the treatments. Being the voice of reason, she does her best to keep the peace and hope alive, but when the brutality of the treatments escalates, a delusion of a fellow patient starts to seem more real than Heather wants to admit. And the “evil eye” of a doctor she adores just might be watching.
