KiTZ-Theaterkumpanei: "Ein Schaf fürs Leben"

A hungry, lonely wolf meets a naive sheep to plan a dinner together. What could go wrong?

In Maritgen Matter's story - nothing, as it turns out. The wolf promises the unsuspecting sheep the world: glorious snow adventures, a quest for the mysterious city of Erfahrungen, a real break from the dull routine of sheep life.

And the sheep, the silly thing? Falls for it completely. Leaves the cosy woolly den and heads into the wild with this stranger. The wolf, of course, has only one thing in mind: eating the sheep. But after a hair-raising sledge ride, a plunge into icy water and a feverish night, there's a catch: you don't eat what you've grown fond of.

A play about:
cleverness
scruples
decency

The only prop - a bed piled with blankets - transforms in seconds into a sledging hill, a winter forest, or a frozen lake. Children's imaginations fill in the rest.

The production doesn't pretend the world is all sunshine and rainbows. It works more as a guide to dealing with fear.
