Behind the scenes photos of the general rehearsal of „Gletschermumie, Liebe“ by Lea Marlen Balzer, which debuted March 14th 2025 at Kampnagel Hamburg.

Gletschermumie, Liebe tells the story of a man as famous as he is nameless, who was murdered in the Ötztal Alps, run over by a glacier and became a sensation 5300 years later when a couple stumbled across him while hiking. Today, his body is the most researched in the world and the museum that exhibits it is visited millions of times. But what do we actually want to learn from this man? A play about lingering, melting and preserving, about Tupperware and kisses like monuments.
