Lahme Ente, blindes Huhn

In the organizer's words:

A deserted backyard. A lame duck sits bored on a suitcase. A blind chicken appears, walking aimlessly around until it stumbles over the duck's walking stick. The blind chicken is on its way to the place where its most secret wish is to come true. However, she has no guide dog to accompany her on her way. So she asks the duck to go with her. The duck, however, is afraid of the world outside the backyard and feels safe and protected behind the high walls. Nevertheless, she takes heart and sets off on an adventurous journey with the chicken. The journey holds a few challenges in store for the two of them. Finally, on the highest peak in the world, they seem to have reached their destination.

"Lame Duck, Blind Chicken" is an enchanting play about great wishes, the power of friendship, the magic of illusion and the beauty of fantasy.
