Theater Geckogecko: Oktopusical // Fritz-Wortelmann-Preis 2025

In the organizer's words:

MUSICAL SHADOW THEATER

What do a vegetarian shark, a raging manta ray, a vain jellyfish and the whale with the best-polished teeth in the world have in common? They all want to help the octopus Oktopus, who has had a huge problem since his Greek course. He's sad because he's not like everyone else. Fortunately, he has lots of friends with extremely creative ideas...

In this entertaining shadow musical, the sea creatures - accompanied by various instruments and rousing music - speak and sing funny lyrics to well-known children's songs and other catchy tunes.
