Another fairy tale by Wilhelm Hauff. Countess Franziska von und zu Sandau is traveling by carriage with her unloved fiancé and her maid, when they fall into the hands of robbers in the dark Spessart forest. The notorious inn in Spessart becomes the focal point for the subsequent ransom demand and a tangled web in which the handymen Felix and Peter attempt to save the noble lady. When Franziska learns at home that her father is more inclined to send military troops than to pay the ransom for disguised Felix, her maid, and the pastor, she defiantly returns to the robbers to serve the bandit leader in her disguise as a boy. He soon recognizes the ruse, but he is as smitten with Franziska as she is with him. Featuring many prominent guest voices such as Badesalz, Bodo Bach, Daphne de Luxe, Gerburg Jahnke, Basti Müller, Steffen Auer, Carsten Weyers, and many more. 70 minutes of runtime. Recommended more for adult audiences.
The night, this is not only the time for sleeping, this is also the time for dreaming and imagination. For children, at night the stars and clouds turn into ghosts and goblins, and sometimes they slip through an open window and mingle in the dreams of children. Have you ever wondered what happens when I dream? Or have you ever wanted to know what it’s like to talk to animals? Do you perhaps also believe that there is a man in the moon and beings that create the weather? If so, then come to the paper theater "Kleine Auszeit" for this year's Christmas fairy tale "Peterchens Mondfahrt." This is the story of Peterchen, his little sister Anneliese, and the May bug Sumsemann, who... but come and see for yourself. The paper theater "Kleine Auszeit" presents its version of the fairy tale freely based on Gerdt von Bassewitz. This play enchants with its self-designed sets and figures, as well as with numerous guest voices, such as Badesalz, Carsten Weyers (Radio Bob), musicians from the band Boppin B, Tilman Birr (among others, world hits in Hessian), and many more. In the main roles, listen to two young speakers from Buseck who wonderfully bring the characters of the literary template to life. After the performance, there is an opportunity to take a look behind the scenes and ask questions about the paper theater. The paper theater "Kleine Auszeit" offers theater performances in Großen Buseck with the paper theater that has been recognized as an intangible UNESCO cultural heritage since 2021.
Max and Moritz is a picture story published in 1865 by Wilhelm Busch and is one of the most famous classics of German youth literature. In seven pranks, the two little rascals play tricks on a small village community, which become increasingly mean and destructive – from the killing of Widow Bolte's chickens to lighting Teacher Lämpel's pipe to the manipulation of Tailor Böck's bridge. In the end, the black-humored moral story takes a grim turn for the two protagonists: After their last prank in the bakehouse, they are thrown into a mill by a miller, ground up, and eaten by ducks. The story is characterized by catchy rhymes, humorous illustrations, and a profound, often macabre look at the double standards of the adult world. 30 minutes, recommended from 6 years
