Dramaturge

The little witch lives with her faithful companion, the raven Abraxas, in a small house in the middle of the forest. At 127 years old, she is actually much too young to dance with the other witches on Walpurgis Night on the Blocksberg. She sneaks off to the witches' night anyway and is promptly caught. As punishment, she is given the task of becoming a "good" witch by the following year. If she passes the witch's test, she can finally take part in the big dance. Easier said than done... It doesn't really work with all the spells and complicated curses. Something is constantly happening that the little witch and Abraxas didn't expect. On top of that, the evil witch Rumpumpel tries by all means to prevent the little witch from achieving her big goal, and then the two of them have completely misunderstood what it means to be a "good" witch.

The Little Witch

Staatstheater Mainz

Greyhound Poch wins one dog race after
another until one day she simply collapses. She wakes up in the hospital surrounded by dog ​​doctors - diagnosis unknown. There is too much pressure in her head because the dog's bloated brain is floating around in the water. Hellcat Rosali, who does business transporting cadavers, proposes a mean deal: pain-relieving pills in exchange for half a life. The dog's brain hesitates at first - but ultimately doesn't know what else to do.

Sick Dogs (DE)

Bastian Balthasar Bux is a completely normal boy, or at least that's what he always thought... until one day his whole life changed.
Teased and laughed at by his classmates, he takes refuge after school in Karl Konrad Koreander's antiquarian bookshop. There he discovers a mysterious book entitled
The Neverending Story , which immediately captivates him. As he begins to read, reality around him seems to blur and he is immersed in the
magical realm of Phantásien, which is threatened by "Nothingness". There he learns about the Childlike Empress, who is terminally ill, about the heroic Atreyu, and about Auryn, the symbol of power and wisdom. He also learns that all of Phantásien's hope rests on the shoulders of the young warrior Atreyu, who is to search for a human child. The further he reads, the more Bastian seems to become a part of the story. Is he the one Atreyu is looking for and who holds the fate of this magical world in his hands? That can't be true, he of all people is supposed to be a hero?

The Neverending Story

Even as a child, Eddy Bellegueule felt that he would find it difficult to live up to the expectations of those around him. His world is a small village in Picardy in northern France, and his upbringing in a working-class family is marked by poverty, violence, and social exclusion. Eddy's behavior, which is perceived as feminine, makes him an outsider long before he can discover his own homosexuality, and the constant rejection of his fellow human beings and lack of acceptance from his family weigh heavily on him. Despite the adverse circumstances, Eddy looks for ways to escape his surroundings and find his own identity. Édouard Louis' autofictional debut novel tells the story of escaping an oppressive childhood with ruthlessness and sociological precision.
