As always in troubled times, fantasy is once again under suspicion: in the face of serious social challenges, the documentary level of art currently seems to be more urgent than the fabulous design of far-fetched adventure stories. In order to be able to formulate and realize hopeful utopias, however, training the imagination is essential, even in the face of difficult circumstances - and hardly any book formulates this credo as emphatically as The Neverending Story. In Michael Ende's famous 1979 novel, the imagination is in acute danger: the mythical realm of Phantásia is in danger of being wiped out by the void - and only a fat little boy who loves reading and is bullied by his classmates can stop the process.

Deborah Krönung and her team will focus Ende's fantastic Bildungsroman on its core and celebrate the fundamental human capacity for imagination with an evening that uses unleashed imagination to tackle the dangerous lack of imagination of our supposed reality and its consequences.
