The Animals' Conference - after Erich Kastner

The animals have had enough: humans hold conference after conference, yet peace and real results never come - only new wars, climate disasters and hardship. Lion Alois could turn black with rage at the humans (if only he weren't so blond), while elephant Oskar worries about the children of the world. So Oskar, Alois and giraffe Leopoldine decide to call the first ever animals' peace and climate conference.

In the legendary Animals' Skyscraper, creatures from every continent and habitat gather - among them polar bear cub Paula - and demand that humans take action. The humans, however, refuse any interference in their affairs. Now Oskar, Alois, Leopoldine and Paula must come up with a plan to make themselves heard. Will they manage to bring the humans to their senses? After all, the future of children is at stake.

Junge Bühne Mainz presents Erich Kastner's 1949 children's novel in its own stage adaptation - a new production for young audiences and theatre lovers alike.
