Hans im Glück - Tom Teuer

Hans has served his master for seven years and receives a lump of gold as his reward. Whistling cheerfully and putting one foot in front of the other, he sets off for home to his mother. The road is long and the lump is heavy - so heavy that Hans is nearly at the end of his strength.

At that moment a rider appears and gives him his horse in exchange for the gold. No sooner has the horse thrown Hans into a ditch than a farmer with a cow appears by the roadside. The trade is perfect. When the cow refuses to go any further, a cook turns up with a pig. A maid who recognises the pig as one stolen from the neighbourhood swaps it for her goose. The goose goes to a scissors-grinder in exchange for a whetstone. And the whetstone falls into a well while Hans is drinking from it. Finally free of every burden and light of heart, he runs home to his mother as the happiest man under the sun.

Theater Tom Teuer performs the fairy tale Hans im Glück - about owning, trading, letting go, and the love of a mother - accompanied by accordion.

In fragrant straw, Hans meets a galloping black horse with a rapping rider, a bleating shepherd with a stubborn cow, the cook of the "new cow-sine" with his dancing pig, a chattering maid with her singing goose, and the invisible scissors-grinder.

A treat for children aged 4 and up - in 5 scenes built from six bales of straw, a pair of rubber boots, two sunflowers, and a three-pronged pitchfork.
