...as the smallest form of theatre, it lives only from facial expressions, gestures, voice, rhythm and the free play of words.

The place we call "the foreign" is perhaps not foreign at all. You could also say that "the foreign" is only a question of perspective. Wherever we look, an "other" appears to us as a "stranger". But aren't we ourselves also "a stranger" in the eyes of "the other"?
It is the differences that often hurt us. But they also connect us - in shared pain and in the longing dream of belonging. 
Fairy tales and stories dissolve invisible boundaries. They connect us as we listen and whisper to us that the so-called "stranger" is only a part of ourselves.

A storytelling adventure that looks at the other side of a story and an event for adults.

"I am interested in the traditional stories that have been told for 1000 years. They are not old, they are universal. But I always ask myself when selecting them, what relationship do they have to the problems of contemporary life, what questions can they answer?" (Thüringer Allgemeine, 24/11/2017)
