Ensemble Materialtheater: Georg in der Garage

In the organizer's words:

The Spanish expression "to feel lost like a duck in a garage" inspired us to write this story for children. Georg the drake is hiding a secret under his old duck tailcoat. Since a hunting accident - not as a hunter, but as the hunted - he can no longer move his right wing. How good that he has heard about Ezza's alteration magic. There you can have all sorts of things changed or enchanted: red noses, bigger teeth, longer hair with golden curls, because Ezza solves all problems. Until one fine day, Georg pays her a visit. "What do you want," she asks him, "just say it and I'll do it." But Georg doesn't come out with it. He is so ashamed of his stiff wing that he always wishes for something else, a new jacket for example. A tender story about the rapprochement between two contrasting characters who both reach their limits. Ezza, who has found everything easy so far, realizes that this time it doesn't work with zig-zag magic miracles and that listening has a great magical power. Georg realizes, not without sorrow, that a secret buried too deep can sometimes be a very big lump in the stomach that can make life damn difficult for yourself and others.
