Skarbek is a dance-theater project initiated by the German artist Antje Majewski in collaboration with the author Ingo Niermann.

Als Matrix des Lebens, der Natur und des Kosmos bildet Antje Majewskis Gimel-Welt gleichsam die Quintessenz eines Eigenen privaten Universalmuseums in einer Nussschale der Künstlerin und zeigt in den Hauptrollen ein Objektseptett: Einen Ton-Teekessel in Form einer menschlichen Hand, eine Muschel, ein aus Duftholz gefertigter Topf, eine Buddhahand-Zitrone, eine Milchorange, einen weißen Stein, einen Meteoriten – alle von Majewski während ihrer zahlreichen Reisen und Begegnungen erworben.
