Conductor

The emperor's horse receives golden horseshoes for its great achievements. The little dung beetle, who lives in the stable, believes he too should be honored with such a decoration, but receives only scorn and ridicule. Misunderstood and deeply offended, the "imperial insect" sets out on a journey through his little world, where many adventures await...

The dung beetle

Staatstheater Mainz

Get your tickets for the Posse 2025 now! It's best to do it today, because, like every year: on Ash Wednesday, everything is over!

Come in, dear audience! This time we are going on a little journey through time with the farce. We are taking you to the carnival season of the late 1950s and looking behind the scenes of the fair that was taking place at that time. Life, love, stress at the Määnzer Mess ! As the title suggests, the worries and needs of people back then are actually the same as they are today! Was everything better in the past? Or maybe not? Does the journey through time show us that some problems could be solved very easily?
