Gabriel Hahner designs masks and puppets or “creatures” with which he performs and stages them in specially created settings. He succeeds in making these creatures, which represent himself and society, appear both grotesque and lovely. He discusses themes from the past and present as well as romantic feelings of nostalgia. His personal biography and his very own perception of everyday domestic life as well as the experiences of queer existence inevitably come to the fore.
