He was the terror of our childhood – now he’s back: Struwwelpeter, the unruly child, right in the midst of the digital age. What does a child need to be seen?
The production translates Heinrich Hoffmann’s collection of ballads into a visual and poetic tableau: a loop of images inspired by the original illustrations, fragments of memories of parents’ voices and childhood scenes set against the backdrop of a classroom, a laboratory and a child’s imagination.
The adaptation takes a tender approach to the sometimes tragic characters ‘Zappelphilipp’, ‘Hans guck in die Luft’ and ‘Suppenkasper’, expressing their inner conflicts through original texts and songs.
- For adults only – admission from 12 years of age
