Encouraging story about dreams, goals and the power of imagination
Children's theater to take off Maike Jansen and Stefan Ferencz tell an encouraging story about dreams, goals and the power of your own imagination with the "little earth bird" on Saturday in the Kulturhaus. Kehl: Moles actually live underground and cannot fly at all. But this circumstance doesn't keep the little mole, who Maike Jansen and Stefan Ferencz from the mobile theater "pohyb's und kon sorten" present on the stage on Saturday afternoon in the Kulturhaus in Kehl, from his dreams. "I want to fly" he says and gets it into his head to become an "earth bird". His assigned place Maike Jansen and Stefan Ferencz tell a wonderfully poetic and witty story about an animal protagonist who absolutely does not want to put up with spending his whole life digging through his tunnels deep under the earth. The story for children aged three and over by Oliver Scherz and Eva Muggenthaler, published in 2013 as a picture book, is primarily about the power of fantasy and the longing to be able to use it to cast off the shackles of one's own existence. Maike Jansen and Stefan Ferencz bring the story to the stage with simple means and a wonderfully clownesque gesture. The two actors, who used to belong to the ensemble of the pantomime mask theater "Family Flöz", which Stefan co-founded at the time, convince with an impressive body language that always allows new characters to emerge. The little velvety fellow, played by Maike Jansen with great lightness and grace, digs through to the surface of the earth and listens to the birds. He tries to catch a butterfly and stands in amazement in front of the flowers, which are simply eaten by a large cow. She doesn't understand why the little mole wants to fly. She chews her grass and splashes a cake over which two flies fight. While roaming around, the little mole also meets a rooster, which jumps wildly from the dung heap and despite its wings doesn't really take off into the clouds. Inadequate equipment The mole eventually has to realize that its shovels are good for digging and digging in the earth, but ultimately not good for flying. But he discovers the power of imagination, which creates images in his head and allows the little mole to climb into the clouds, trusting in his own dreams. With their performance, which has been postponed several times due to Corona, Jansen and Ferencz tie in with their first guest performance in Kehl a few years ago and enchant their young and old audience with an intensive hour. With this amusing spectacle they also put the end of the urban family series "Schau mal!" Kehler Zeitung/Mittelbadische Presse from 05/09/22 by Jürgen Haberer
