The Brave Little Tailor - Interactive Theatre from Age 3

One morning, the brave little tailor kills seven flies in a single blow. Proud of his great deed, he sets off into the world to proclaim his "heroic feat" - along the way he faces all kinds of adventures, and in the end wins the hand of a beautiful princess.

Interactive theatre (Mitspieltheater) is a special form of performance in which an experienced actress tells a fairy tale while slipping into all the different characters and roles. Children get an up-close look at the art of acting - above all the rapid switching between roles that the performer carries out right before their eyes. They don't just listen to the story with bated breath; they can actively join in. Children can call out their thoughts and ideas to the actress on stage, and she weaves these impulses spontaneously into the story.

At many points the children can even come up on stage and play a part themselves! The result is a lively, back-and-forth performance between the storyteller and the audience.
