Children's Theater Das tapfere Schneiderlein

What happens when an actor and a comic book artist tell a fairy tale together? An exciting, unprecedented form of theater. If the actor is also a musician, there's a lot of lively, catchy music added to the mix.

Everyone knows the fairy tale of the brave, courageous little tailor. But why "little tailor"? Does this affectionate term not reveal something about the true nature of the tailor? He is not a hero; rather, inside him is a little fraud who stumbles from one adventure to the next through his exaggerated self-assessments. Admittedly, he passes these adventures with wit and intelligence; yet he is not brave in the best sense. The fact remains that his successes are based on untruths and misjudgments, and that is the truly interesting part of this fairy tale. There are flies defeated, giants overcome, a unicorn vanquished, and a wild boar captured, for which he is gifted a princess and half of a kingdom. Nice, but will he be happy? And what about the princess? Therefore, besides the classic ending of the tale, there is another possibility, but that shall not be revealed.

In this fairy tale-comic-musical theater based on Grimm, by and with Mathias Schuh, it’s about overestimation and showboating but also about how he manages to outsmart his opponents through clever claims. For all children aged 4 and up, and the best part is, you can "choose the ending of the story".
