Theater Laboratorium - Monsieur Ibrahim und die Blumen des Koran - Bad zwischenahn

Young Momo suddenly finds himself completely on his own. He has only one friend—just one—and that is Monsieur Ibrahim, the Arab grocer on Rue Bleue. But things aren’t what they seem: Rue Bleue isn’t blue, Monsieur Ibrahim isn’t Arab, and life isn’t necessarily a tragedy. A parable about the contrasts and tolerance between two generations, peoples, and religions. Or, to put it another way, the brightness and liveliness of Monsieur Ibrahim’s shop on the one hand, and the cramped, dreary conditions of Momo’s family home—a cardboard box—on the other. “To see the blue sea one more time,” Monsieur Ibrahim wishes, and sets off with Momo in a little red car to his homeland. For him, his life’s journey ends there; for Momo, it marks a new beginning... A tale of smiling certainty, refined charm, and elegant beauty. A true discovery. “Light and shadow, acting talent, and an extraordinary stage presence in bringing the small characters to life transported the audience to the Rue Bleu. Simply magnificent!” (Birgit Empen, Pole Poppenspielertage 2011).
