Märchen im Glaspalast mit dem Hexenberg Ensemble: Die kleine Meerjungfrau | Das kleine hässliche Entlein

In the organizer's words:

The little mermaid
How I lost my sister or Mermaids can't cry. A mermaid leaves her home, swaps her fish tail for two "clumsy props that people call legs", pays with her voice and thus loses the opportunity to reveal her identity and reveal herself. And yet she does. The "clumsy supports" cause her agony with every step, and yet she dances. Without hesitation. She doesn't ask what she will get in return. She needs no assurance that the prince will return her love and that she will gain an immortal soul. How much courage does it take to love deeply and unconditionally? How much risk is our own love worth to us? How much are we prepared to accept and leave behind? What are we prepared to give up? And is it really giving up or is it an enrichment? Does love only become valuable when it is reciprocated? Does love have to be worth anything at all? Two sisters tell their story, about the courage to love and moving out into a foreign land; the loss of a loved one and the acquisition of an immortal soul. We emerge with them from the depths and look through their eyes at us humans. We humans who can cry. We who share our souls when we love. We who too often fail to recognize love when it stands before us.

The little ugly duckling
Especially today, in a world that oscillates between individualism and egalitarianism, "The Little Ugly Duckling", based on Hans-Christian Andersen and directed by long-time ensemble member Michael Schwager, gains relevance. For adults, it is a confrontation with their own judgments, with exclusion and the courage of self-determination. For children, it offers comfort and orientation - an invitation to recognize their own otherness as a strength.
A fairy tale for "big and small ducks" that illuminates the abysses and hopes of human existence with humor, poetry and seriousness. A play that encourages us to celebrate our own uniqueness - and to recognize the foreign not as a threat, but as an enrichment.

The actors are: Andreas Klopp and Michael Schwager
