A young couple sets out on a journey to become average. They move from Berlin to Haßloch. Haßloch is considered the most average place in Germany and is a so-called "Magic Town". The economy takes advantage of the averageness of the residents for product testing. But who actually produces whose needs here? Which wishes are normal? And what happens when you fall in love with a product that then suddenly disappears again? The need to help shape the average and the longing for predictability and security create pressure to adapt your own wishes and dreams.

Magic Town (UA)

Staatstheater Mainz

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?
