Mr. Wum is often angry, even if he doesn't know why. He moves around his home "with a vengeance, with gusto, with rage in his belly, with rage everywhere". That alone would be special enough, but the other people in his house are also, well: very special people. Mr. Bum next door likes loud marching music and matching household noise, Mrs. Dong likes to warble to herself and Mrs. Ding loves beautiful things so much that her apartment is crammed full - and so are the garbage cans in the courtyard. So the four of them get on each other's nerves. The only solution: they each move into their own house. But nobody wants that. Luckily, there's also the single best second solution!
"A quirky view of the world, an imaginative take on the pink frilly thing or something - that's music too. Music lurks everywhere, you just have to look for it. And then let it in quickly!" Gordon Kampe has transformed Brigitte Werner and Birte Müller's picture book into music with a lot of imagination and a lot of boom-fallera - all the rattling and door slamming as well as the pink frilly thing, the quiet tripping in tiny shoes and the fly poop at half past four. Between "Glitzertango" and "Grübelmusik", the audience is also invited to sing along.
