The Little Match Girl: ‘It was terribly cold; it was snowing, and evening was already falling.’ New Year’s Eve. Cold, wind, a little girl without shoes.


Her slippers are gone, the matches unsold. She lights them, and with every flame a door opens. In the glow of the matches, it is not just warmth that awaits. Encounters await: with herself, with her mother, with her father. What appears behind the doors is neither a vision nor a consolation, but a conversation that was long overdue.


The production takes Andersen’s fairy tale as its starting point for a story about what is passed down between generations: not as a heavy burden, but as a game with an open ending. The roast, the tree and the festive gathering are merely a backdrop here for something greater: the desire to be seen.



Puss in Boots


‘... but the third received nothing but a hangover.’ Where on earth is the happy ending here? Not a chance! For this is, in fact, the fairy tale about ourselves: to create the greatest possible theatre with almost no resources, humble in the author’s sense and selfless in the service of our audience – this has always been our concept.
