The rereading of the myth of King Arthur starts from the idea that Merlin is living backwards, while Arthur is still believing that a better and peaceful world is possible. The Round Table, only a game for Merlin, is a real utopia for the king. Text montage based on T.H.White’s adaptation in four volumes of Thomas Malory’s novel; trace elements from Tankred Dorst: "Merlin" Original contribution "Merlin kotzt" by Josef Wittmann Premiere 18 October 2010, tanz_house Festival, ARGEkultur Salzburg Touring: tanz_house festival Salzburg, Kunsthaus Nexus Saalfelden, Drama State Theater Kaunas/Lithuania, TanzKosmos Festival Wien, Posthof Linz
