Märchen im Glaspalast von und mit dem Hexenberg Ensemble: Froschkönig
What on earth is this bloke thinking, following the girl – just because of a childish white lie – right into her cosy home? Sitting at her table, eating from her little plate and even wanting to sleep with her in her little bed? Hello, are you mad?!
The father coldly tells his little girl: ‘You have to keep your promises!’ Not in our house! We don’t kiss any frogs just because they claim to be enchanted princes! Because if you say A, you don’t have to do ANYTHING! Our princess knows how to stand her ground in a bigoted adult world, and the frog ends up exactly where he belongs: on the wall: SPLASH!
Parents bring their children into this fairy tale at their own risk.
Rumpelstiltskin
Oh, how good it is that nobody knows… As the title of this fairy tale goes. For who, pray tell, is this completely over-the-top creature who suddenly and entirely uninvited turns up in the miller’s daughter’s dark chamber? Who, for heaven’s sake, transforms this dungeon into a stage of international calibre within seconds? Goodness, it’s on the tip of your tongue.
But it’s also enough to drive you mad: just when you’ve succeeded, everyone’s shouting ‘More!’ from all sides. And so the beautiful miller’s daughter spins straw into gold and weeps, and spins, and weeps, and spins. The king – this Grimm-esque Scrooge McDuck – actually demands more and more. In her utter desperation, the miller’s daughter promises her firstborn to the lost little man who rushes to her rescue. It’s just a shame that nobody knows his name! For without it, she’ll never see her little one again.
Will she get her child back in the end? Well, that all depends on how carefully the audience has studied the programme.
