Sleeping Beauty: To be a child once more. Isn’t that what everyone wishes for from time to time!? To let go once more, to give free rein to one’s inner playfulness, and simply to be allowed to ask questions with childlike innocence again: this is something few adults are able to do. Yet it is precisely a child’s childlike enthusiasm for play and creativity – which are deeply rooted in each of us – that we adults can learn the most from. Being a child isn’t just a phase of life, but part of the human experience. It lies dormant within you too, just waiting to be kissed awake from its Sleeping Beauty slumber. May the fun never end!

The Hare and the Hedgehog
The classic par excellence, our very own Grimm. This is how the brothers Jacob and Wilhelm taught us to turn their fairy tales into reality through play: by means of two performers, a stage no bigger than a beer mat, and a great love for literal detail. The original text is as sacred as the Bible and must be taken as seriously as a Shakespearean epic. What’s written there is to be regarded as strict stage directions, even – and especially – when the hare races the hedgehog for a full 73 laps. Who plays the hedgehog lady? And how, pray tell, does one credibly fall for the same cheap trick 73 times? Well, quite simply: with the help of the audience and with the greatest of pleasure – yes, they promise: Grimm-style on the Fairy Tale Hill!
