Das Märchen von Maus, dem verwunschenen Königskind

Puppet show & live classical music
 

It happened a long time ago, on the edge of a forest shrouded in legend. 
Three sons live in a family. One day the parents say: ‘The time has come. Go out into the world and get married. Cut down a tree and follow the direction its top points.’ It doesn't take long for the two older brothers to find the people of their hearts. But the youngest tree leads him into the deep forest. There he meets Mouse, small, not particularly handsome, but very special and lovable. With an anxious feeling, he decides to introduce Mouse to his home. On the way home, however, something marvellous happens.
 

A musical puppet theatre about a magical journey, mysterious creatures and a love for which appearances are irrelevant. Based on the Finnish fairy tale ‘The Bride of the Forest’
