Der himmlische Zirkus - Kindertheater Coq Au Vin

In the organizer's words:

Two angels and a heavenly mess
Poetic, artistic, hilarious - and completely without wing kitsch!

Two angels hurtle down from heaven with full force and land roughly on earth - crash landing included! In order to fall back into grace at "the top", they do everything they can to enchant people with graceful artistry, witty ideas and lots of charm.

But even angels are not immune to envy and resentment - and so a heavenly-comic story full of small rivalries, big feelings and an important realization unfolds:
"The only way to the top is together - help each other!"

This play is a real hit with elementary school and nurseries! We have collected lots of enthusiastic feedback from school and nursery managers on this page - just click through and read it.

And don't worry: the play has no religious references - it's about humanity, togetherness and theater fun for the whole family.

In 2025, Coq Au Vin took 2nd place with this play at the 20th Amberg Children's Theater Festival - even though only the winners from previous years were there!

for 3 to 11-year-old children
Play length: approx. 50 minutes

- Press reviews -

Swabian newspaper
"It's not the classic circus, nor is it a pure theater performance. The special mixture of both is the recipe for success here!...The actors clearly had a lot of fun, which kept the children and themselves laughing until the end. Original outfits, a pinch of acrobatics, a tablespoon of clowning and the audience is enraptured."

Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung
"Again and again, the children were highly enthusiastic."

Deggendorfer Zeitung
"Over 300 children at the Theodor Eckert elementary school were amazed and cheered on Carnival Friday. With absolutely divine dedication, the two actors Thomas Endel and Sarah Lindermayer give the audience, young and old, the opportunity to immerse themselves in a fantastic world that animates and inspires and gives the children more room for euphoric applause than in any other theater. "Coq Au Vin is one of the few children's theaters where adults are just as enthusiastic as children," say members of the Friends' Association and the Parents' Council."
