In a dispute over the rule of Thebes, the brothers Eteocles and Polynices killed each other. With Creon, power is now taken over by a man who believes he is only accountable to himself and who is convinced that the state belongs to the ruler.

Antigone

Staatstheater Mainz

The development of this piece idea began with "Schmidti's Children's Songs", which strengthen children, meet them at eye level and start a conversation with them about the world. For Braunschweig's children, director and overall artist Roscha A. Säidow selected nine songs from "Schmidti's Children's Songs". Philipp Rohmer arranged these songs for musicians from the Braunschweig State Theater while Roscha continued to spin a story that connects these nine songs. The result is Wünsche and Feisel. As Wünsche, Juliane Dennert with Rainer Mesecke as Feisel follows Little Kurt and the turtle Erna through a very special day. It is the other way around. What starts out as a completely normal morning in the city park is suddenly turned upside down. Just as the turtle Erna sits down in the clover and waits for her friend Little Kurt to come around the corner, everything remains quiet. Little Kurt doesn't come. That's a good start.
