When his parents go dancing on Saturday nights, ten-year-old Anton Bohnsack settles in at home with his favorite books. He loves reading vampire stories—the scarier, the better. But when a real vampire suddenly appears on his windowsill one evening, it gives him a real fright. It's a good thing this little bloodsucker, Rüdiger von Schlotterstein, and his younger sister, Anna the Toothless, are more interested in friendship than in Anton's blood. If only it weren't for the adults! Human children should probably stay hidden from Rüdiger's relatives. Anton's parents don't really believe in vampires, but they're determined to invite their son's strange new friends over for cake. And then there's the nasty Geiermeier, who wants to make the cemetery vampire-free...

The Little Vampire

Staatstheater Mainz

The Cat in the Hat ends up in Stackeln an der Kruke by chance. She moves into an old, empty house where the grumpy brewery director Maulwisch spent his unhappy childhood. The cat promises to make the house a thoroughly happy place. But that's impossible on her own – so little by little she takes in a bunch of homeless people, orphans, and oddballs: Marianne the Dudelhuhn, Captain Knaak, the Zappergeck, Baby Hübner the musical pig, the Stolpervogel, and the Erbsenstein brothers. Together they turn the house completely upside down and open the doors to happiness. But with so many protégés, there's naturally no money left for the rent. Brewery director Maulwisch immediately makes a fuss!

Felix Krull sees the world as a stage and wants to live life to the fullest. He grew up in a small town in the Rheingau region. His father was an unsuccessful sparkling wine producer who drove the family to ruin and then took his own life. Felix – the lucky one – sets out into the wide world to escape poverty. Through his godfather, Schimmelpreester, he finds a job in a luxury hotel in Paris. There, he becomes very good at saying what people want to hear. He is what he seems. He is authentic through deception and an expert at marketing himself. A projection figure for all desires.

Confessions of the Impostor Felix Krull

Even as a child, Eddy Bellegueule felt that he would have difficulty living up to the expectations of those around him. His world was a small village in Picardy, northern France, and his upbringing in a working-class family was marked by poverty, violence, and social exclusion. Eddy's perceived feminine behavior made him an outsider long before he discovered his own homosexuality, and the constant rejection from his peers and lack of acceptance from his family weighed heavily on him. Despite the adverse circumstances, Eddy sought ways to escape his surroundings and find his own identity. Édouard Louis's autofictional debut novel tells the story of escaping an oppressive childhood in unsparing, explicit imagery and with almost sociological precision.

The end of Eddy

Jonathan Peachum, a successful entrepreneur in organized begging, has the city firmly in his grip. No one who wants to make it as a beggar can get past him. Only his daughter Polly, of all people, doesn't listen to him. She has plans to marry Macheath, known as Mackie Messer, who is also a big name in the London underworld. Macheath has good contacts in the authorities, especially with Police Chief Tiger Brown. These contacts are very useful in preventing the occasional unpleasant (murder) story from becoming a problem. But now it's not just Polly's father who is out to get him; other women he has promised to marry are also reminding people of themselves. In The Threepenny Opera, Kurt Weill mixes elements of jazz, tango, and fairground music, garnishing them with sideswipes at opera and operetta. The piece, which is based on John Gay's baroque opera parody The Beggar's Opera , is directed by Jan Neumann, who has staged the plays Sensemann & Söhne and kurz&nackig at the Staatstheater Mainz, among others.
