Wazn Teez?

In the organizer's words:

by Martin Heckmanns - based on the picture book by Carson Ellis, translated into English by Jess Jochimsen and Anja Schöne

A theatrical spectacle for the whole family that takes you into a magical world of insects and invites you to marvel.

"Wazn Teez?" - "What's that?" ask Ixi, Fleisel, Brumms, Sisseli and Otto von Ottowo, five curious insects, as a tender shoot peeps out of the ground in spring. As the plant grows and sprouts leaves, it is marveled at even more. Wouldn't that be a good place for a tree house? In summer, it is in full bloom - "Iz an Freuenschuh!" the five of them cheer. The mysterious Wandelings and the dreaded Tatta Schroxxler are also attracted to the plant. But then autumn comes, the plant withers until the first snow falls and winter arrives. - Just as everything comes into being, it fades again, only to sprout once more. And when spring returns, a new sprout has grown ...

"Wazn Teez?" tells of the miracle of life, a journey through the seasons and the cohesion of a group. The successful picture book by Carson Ellis and her linguistically witty "Insektisch" have been spun by playwright Martin Heckmanns into an insect Esperanto that no one has heard of before and yet everyone can understand.

Director Alexander Riemenschneider stages a large family musical in which the ensemble immerses itself in the world between the blades of grass with songs and circus elements.
