Das Blaue vom Himmel ... (8 - 12 Jahre + Erw.)

A wealth of history and stories, new and old, struggle and love, play and seriousness…

There's a lot going on in the world – even in Ährenfeld, Dinglingen, and Brodelmoor. These are very different countries. Here, where Pine comes from, agriculture is more prevalent. Where Örjan lives, things are invented and manufactured. And there, with Asha, the priority is keeping one's feet on the ground. But these countries do have one thing in common: a border. And unpredictable things happen when borders are crossed. Is it an opportunity or a risk? That's what our game pieces are asking themselves as we let them step over the edge of their board games.

After the performances, there will be an opportunity for a discussion with the ensemble.

Excerpts from student reviews: "The play made me think in a positive way, because our world isn't much different. There are also industrialized countries, developing countries, and resource-rich countries. Wars also break out, disputes are resolved, there are large societies, and religions exist within them; a very interesting play."
"I like the play because it deals with a difficult topic, how a war arises between different societies, and it is explained in an understandable way in the play."
Teacher's comment: "The topic is highly relevant and it's been implemented so brilliantly. Using so many different methods."

Decoder Ensemble

The Decoder Ensemble is one of the most innovative and fearless acts on the international contemporary music scene. With its high-energy sound, it thrills audiences in renowned concert halls as well as in trendy clubs such as Berlin’s Berghain. For several years, Decoder hosted the Elbphilharmonie series »Unterdeck«, during which they organised exciting performance evenings featuring a wide variety of guest artists.
In their latest programme, »New Codes on the Block«, the ensemble offers young composers the opportunity to create new works for the group. In workshops, the pieces are explored and further developed together with the musicians. Four of the resulting compositions are then selected and combined into a dramaturgically conceived concert evening. Once again, Decoder Ensemble lives up to its name by decoding the artistic languages of a new generation through both musical notation and electronic media.

Der Besuch

Grandma Liese lives alone and lonely. Every day is gray and boring, even at Christmas. But not this year! First something flies in through the window, then there's a knock at the door! And then things get more and more colorful and everything is turned upside down! A clownish and poetic play that celebrates Christmas to the fullest and shows how beautiful life can be when you have friends. Based on the picture book by Antje Damm, Der Besuch, Moritz Verlag 2015, Frankfurt/M.

Der blaue Saphir - Kellertheater

A children's crime story from Hamburg

Sunny, Toni, and Moni hadn't thought of that. To solve a case, the three friends have to delve into the murky world of crooks, swindlers, and black marketeers.

Two master thieves, Kuni and Kuddel, a sophisticated swindler, Count Schick von Schickelsberg, and the shrewd bar owner Anni are all after a very valuable sapphire belonging to Sunny's family. Sunny's parents are away. Her aunt Maya is looking after her and the blue sapphire.

Will the crooks succeed in luring Aunt Maya out of her apartment late at night and secretly stealing the valuable gemstone? How will Police Sergeant Wichtig, new to the area, assess the situation? Will Sunny, Moni, and Toni be sound asleep when the two thieves go on their late-night heist? And will the three friends dare to venture into Anni's suspicious cactus bar?

"The Blue Sapphire" is fun for young and old, with catchy songs and an exciting plot.

Der bleiche Baron

KOPERGIETERY & KGbe, Belgium
SPOM International Theatre Festival for Young Audiences

He is the great ruler of the underwater kingdom, shamelessly grabbing the last bite, and no one dares contradict him: The Pale Baron is always right. He can do and knows everything. What he absolutely cannot stand are poets. They deeply disturb him, for in and between their lines they hide all sorts of things, and that can be dangerous for the Pale Baron. Questions also make him uneasy, which is why they are strictly forbidden in his realm.

But children ask questions, lots of them: Why, for example, is the sea level constantly rising, and what does the pale baron intend to do about it? Or where have all the poets gone, and why? These questions also haunt the musicians Felka and Felix. With their small, revolutionary singalong show, the two secretly tour underground.

A plea for art, poetry, friendship and freedom – in an authoritarian state that hunts down all those who are different, who ask questions and resist the dictates of utility.
