In the organizer's words:

MOMO

by Michael Ende, adapted for the stage by Vita Huber
recommended for ages 8 and up

She simply appears in town one day. Nobody really knows where she comes from or how old she is. She is suddenly there and brings with her what we all have too little of: Time, attention, patience, peace and joy.

But shortly after Momo appears, strange creatures besiege the town. The Grey Lords use cruel tricks to extract time from the townspeople and infect them with career mania, greed and agitation. The Grey Lords spread through the city like a virus. People have less and less time for each other, for conversation, for games. They numb themselves with toys, machines, work and more work.

Momo is soon sitting alone in the amphitheater because no one comes to visit her anymore. So she decides to take up the fight against the Gray Lords and give people back their stolen time.

To mark its 50th anniversary, our performance group brought Michael Ende's classic children's book MOMO to the stage in 2023, following the successful production "Are you a bad person?". In addition to nine children between the ages of 10 and 15, five adults are on stage and together they deal with the story, which seems more relevant today than ever before. Playing together across the generations gives the stage version a special charm.

The performance rights are held by Verlag für Kindertheater Weitendorf Gmbh, Max-Brauer-Allee 34, 22765 Hamburg.
