CURRENT EVENTS
Sun, 27 Sep, at 11:00
5/7 €The reduced ticket price applies to secondary school students, university students, pensioners, and self-employed professionals in the cultural sector.
Admission is free for children under the age of 12 when accompanied by an adult. The accompanying adult purchases one ticket for themselves and states the number of children accompanying them during the booking process. Children count towards the event’s total capacity. Visitors aged 12 and over require their own paid ticket.
As great as children’s happiness is, children’s sadness is also deep. Full of questions. Deep, painful, important.
In the forest amongst moss and dreams, rabbits and ferns have made a bet, which is why they have found themselves in full preparations for a very special Olympics. The sporting event between the squabbling forest creatures who stopped talking to each other, is framed by the story of two best friends, Lara and Igor, who, as all friends sometimes do, fell out one day. Through a series of humorous twists, hurdles and with a strong desire to win, which is overcome by friendship and joy, a space opens up for a range of emotions that accompany the painful clash between a girl and a boy.
The play is designed as a soundwalk for children and their parents. When the children run into the forest together with the actors, the ambiance of the real space and the play start intertwining. By listening, moving around the space, and exploring small art installations, children and parents, together with the actors, immerse themselves in the action, thus becoming part of the story revolving around a very special competition in the forest…
