Brave Mouse, hairy Monster: The Gruffalo at marotte Theater
When danger lurks in the big forest, it takes courage, imagination, and a good story. In the puppet theater adaptation The Gruffalo, children aged four and up meet a little mouse who cleverly defends herself against hungry forest dwellers and brings an amazing figure to life.
A little mouse with a big imagination
The dramaturgy follows the popular picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler: The mouse invents the terrible Gruffalo to keep the fox, owl, and snake at bay. But the invented character suddenly becomes an unexpected encounter. Between wit, tension, and childlike logic, a stage experience emerges that playfully transforms fears and boosts self-confidence.
Puppet theater with charm and excitement
Roberta Ascani guides the events, directed by Eva Kaufmann. The production emphasizes the unique closeness of puppet theater: figures, language, movement, and theatrical atmosphere bring the forest to life right before the audience's eyes. The stage design opens a space for imagination, while the acting conveys the perspective of the little mouse with great precision.
45 minutes of forest adventures
With a duration of about 45 minutes, the performance is particularly suitable for young theatergoers and their families. The audience's reaction thrives on the mixture of recognition, excitement, and surprising humor. Children experience a story about courage and cleverness, while adults discover the fine dramaturgy behind the seemingly simple fairy tale.
