Märchen aus dem Koffer: Der Froschkönig

In the organizer's words:

A princess loses her golden ball in a fountain and promises a frog that she will keep him as a friend if he brings the ball back. After the frog returns the ball to her, the princess flees, but the frog makes good on his promise and she has to take him in. The princess is finally forced to kiss the frog, which turns the frog into a prince. The prince explains that he has been bewitched by a witch and ends up marrying the princess.

When we tell a story, we are present for our audience with our whole person - without a mask and without a costume. We don't have a book in front of us. We are simply there and give each other our attention for a while.

As we tell the story, we look at each other and immerse ourselves in the fantastic world of the story together. We don't know what emotional baggage the audience brings with them from their everyday lives. However, in stable contact, we can perceive each other and thus navigate irritating, emotional situations together.

No matter how old and familiar the story may be, every story is a gift for us and our audience.

The audience can guide us storytellers with their reactions and sometimes intervene directly in the story. In this contact, we can perceive when concentration is waning, whether more dynamics are needed in the use of voice and body, or whether a pause makes sense. In dramatic situations, body language, facial expressions, gestures and tone of voice can make it clear that the story being told will have a happy ending.

In each quarter of the year 2026, we will develop and present a fairy tale by the Grimm brothers. The individual stories are suitable for ages 3 and up and each lasts around 40 minutes.

Two actors/actresses act out of a suitcase containing small transformation props and turn the story into an indescribable experience for young and old alike.
