Astrid Lindgren - Humanity Has Lost Its Mind
Puppet and object theatre • in German • 60 minutes • solidarity 25 €, regular 18 €, reduced 12 €

The Artisans embark on a biographical search: with a puppet and many objects, Stefan Spitzer and Inga Schmidt tell the story of the Swedish author who not only wrote magnificent children's literature but was also a keen observer of her time - and committed herself, notably through her famous Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, to equal coexistence between children and adults.

The evening illuminates a woman who remained politically engaged into old age, fought for children's and animal rights, and whose message remains relevant today: "The mind must be rediscovered in order to create a better world."
