Since September, the theatre's three children's clubs have been meeting weekly to develop their plays. The themes are as varied as the clubs themselves:
Stumm unterwegs is about a girl who loves her porcelain rabbit more than anything. Her mother, however, talks to him as if he wasn't real and her father leaves him in the corner. However, the fact that he can't move or speak doesn't mean that he doesn't realise anything: he sees everything that is happening around him. One day, he falls off a ship and sinks to the bottom of the sea. From then on, his life changes abruptly ...
1800 seconds Time is a strange phenomenon. Sometimes it runs or races past you. It creeps along or stops completely. Sometimes it has run out, sometimes it is ripe. You can win it or lose it, drive it away, steal it or give it away. But how can it be that you suddenly no longer have it, even though it is there all the time?
Steernkrieger is the title of Platt 'n' Studio. In High and Low German, the club embarks on a journey into the infinite vastness of space. Mars is soon to be colonised, there's water there, or was that the moon? But at least there is already someone living there: the man in the moon. But does he even want other people there? In any case, we have to get there first ... into space. For that we need a spaceship. And equipment.
The next children's clubs start again after the summer holidays. Registration information is available here:

The bear that wasn't there
Children's music theatre by Frederik Neyrinck based on the children's book by Oren Lavie and Wolf Erlbruch. From 5 years
Tuesday, 30 April 2019
6.00 pm
Exerzierhalle
A bear, who didn't even know he was there until a moment ago, pulls a piece of paper out of his fur that says: "Are you me?" Good question, he thinks to himself, and sets off to find out. On his journey through a wondrous forest, he encounters the cosy mountain cow and the sluggish salamander. Both assure him that he is, above all, a very nice bear. He happily wanders on. As far as the compass tree. From there it goes in eight directions: North, South, East, West, Wrong, Right, Lunch and Breakfast. Which one should he take: Breakfast? Lunch? If it hadn't been for the sluggish turtle taxi, the bear would still be thinking.
In the composition by Belgian composer Frederik Neyrinck, the wondrous forest, which symbolises life itself, is transformed into a large instrument. Sound and space change with every encounter. Together with the bear, the audience experiences a musical journey through the forest of "I".
