An Erich Kästner program for children between 6 and 12 years with Johannes Kirchberg

To mark Erich Kästner's 125th birthday, the family performance "Parole Erich!" will be performed. An Erich Kästner program for children between 6 and 12 years old with Johannes Kirchberg


Everyone who was a child a few years ago, and some who are still children, knows "Emil and the Detectives", "The Double Lottie", "Pünktchen and Anton" and many of the other wonderful children's books by Erich Kästner.

So how would it be if Erich Kästner came back for a day to tell stories? Because he has a lot to tell, Erich Kästner. Not just his stories and his poems. Also about himself.

What it was like to be a child 125 years ago. That's why Johannes Kirchberg is now slipping into the role of Erich Kästner and taking you into his world. And he tells us about his childhood in Dresden, a wild chase, about traveling, about school and about why he wrote children's books in the first place.

Johannes Kirchberg has been successfully touring with a Kästner evening for adults for many years. Now, together with director Katinka Springborn, he has brought a program for children to the stage. Because: "Only those who grow up and remain a child are human."

Johannes Kirchberg has been successfully touring Germany with musical and literary programs for many years. He brings evenings on Erich Kästner, Wolfgang Borchert or currently Hans Leip to the stage. After his first program for children with lyrics by James Krüss premiered in 2020 ("Chicken or Egg"), Johannes Kirchberg has now fulfilled a long-held dream with "Parole Erich".

An Erich Kästner program for children. This is unique and cannot be experienced anywhere else. In this play, Erich Kästner returns and talks about his childhood in Dresden, his school days, his parents and the reasons that led him to write children's books. D

Passing on the enthusiasm for Kästner's world is what drives Johannes Kirchberg. And the best thing is that the adults also enjoy the program.

The theater is open from 2:30 p.m.
