The Ugly Duckling
Today more than ever, in a world that oscillates between individualism and conformism, Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Ugly Duckling”, directed by long-standing ensemble member Michael Schwager, takes on new relevance. For adults, it is a confrontation with their own judgements, with exclusion and the courage to determine one’s own path. For children, it offers comfort and guidance – an invitation to recognise their own difference as a strength.
A fairy tale for ‘ducks big and small’ that illuminates the depths and hopes of human existence with wit, poetry and sincerity. A play that encourages us to celebrate our own uniqueness – and to recognise the unfamiliar not as a threat, but as an enrichment.
Puss in Boots
‘... but the third one only got 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 spirit and selflessly in the service of the audience – this has always been the concept.
- For adults only – admission from 14 years of age
