"I want to fly," says the mole, which is as small as an oak leaf"...

But ...?! – Moles live underground!

Is correct. And as everyone knows: Moles don't fly!

That's what the mother says too. But ... -

The little mole's longing is so great that he decides to become an "earth bird"...


The poetic and at the same time funny story “The Little Earth Bird” based on Oliver Scherz and Eva Muggenthaler tells whether this succeeds, about longing, dreams, personal goals and the power of imagination.On stage, pohyb's and the like breathe colorful life into this fine encourager.


In the piece, the two actors from pohyb's and their friends combine text and images in a playful way, ranging from poetic images to clownesque scenes. In their typical mixture of facial expressions, gestures and physical play, the two players slip into the characters of the story in rapid changes. With slapstick, clownesque elements, pantomime, noise and music, and a few pieces of costume and props, they take the audience on a journey full of stumbles, falls and flights of fancy.
