Monsta: Theater Dortmund

In the organizer's words:

Monsta lives under the bed and is actually called Harald. But Monsta doesn't think the name fits anymore. "If you'd ever seen me. Huge and dangerous as hell! Your pants would be full. Right up to the top." Monsta is super good at monsters. And it likes its quiet life. But Monsta is frustrated: It chose this one child especially and moved in. Fixed working hours, no overtime, clear tasks. "I make creepy and you tremble." With all the tricks:

Teeth filed, masks built,
the fur put up,
squeaked with doors,
cracked with bones,
snapped legs ...

But unfortunately it's all in vain! The child simply sleeps on, snoring and grunting and grinning in its dreams. Perhaps the child still has to grow to be really frightened? But what if nothing helps? It can't go on like this! Dita Zipfel writes children's books, plays and screenplays and lives in Berlin. Her books have won several awards. With Monsta, she tells a story for young and older people who would like to get to know a real monster. Along the way, they learn a lot about fear and about big and small fears. And about where monsters live, namely in jacket pockets, washing machines, first aid kits and garbage cans. Or under children's beds. But no matter where you come across one, it's worth getting to know it! Because monsters like this one may have unusually large teeth, play with dirt and like to eat objects. But they also have really fuzzy fur, a great sense of humor and are actually not that different from you and me.
