Das kalte Herz (10+)

In the organizer's words:

by Kerstin Specht ● based on Wilhelm Hauff ● Puppet theater and play ● 10+

The charcoal burner Peter Munk wants to escape the poverty of his profession and makes a wish to the Glass Man that he always has as much money in his pocket as the richest man in town. But the glass man doesn't even grant silly wishes to Sunday children. However, the Dutchman, who is in league with evil, grants Peter Munk his wish and finally places a stone in the place of his heart. He becomes rich, buys properties, travels all over the world and never misses an opportunity to party. But heartless, he can neither enjoy his new wealth nor treat his fellow human beings with love. So he finally sets out to undo the deal with the Dutchman's Michel.

In The Cold Heart, Wilhelm Hauff tells a fairytale parable about the longing for a different life and social advancement. Using puppet and object theater, the ensemble explores what it means to chase after this desire and the price one is willing to pay for it.
