The Wolf & the 7 Little Goats - Interactive Theatre

Before heading out to do the shopping, the mother goat warns her kids: let no one in. When the big bad wolf arrives at the house, the little ones are home alone. He tries to outwit them with every trick he can think of - and eventually succeeds. He gobbles them all up, except for one. Together with the smallest kid, the mother goat finally rescues all her children. They stuff the wolf's belly with heavy stones. When he wakes up, the stones rumble and roll inside him. Overcome with thirst, he runs to the well - and falls in to his death.

What makes this interactive fairy-tale theatre special is that a single actor tells the story through movement and dance, slipping in and out of every character. Children don't just sit and watch - they can take an active part. They can call out their ideas and thoughts to the actor on stage, who weaves these impulses spontaneously into the story. At many points, children can even come up on stage and play along! The result is a lively, one-of-a-kind theatrical exchange between the storyteller and the audience.

This is a production for the whole family by Johannes Galli, with music composed especially for the show by Johannes Galli and Michael Summ. The CD featuring all the fairy-tale songs from the production (including playback versions and lyrics) is available at the theatre.
