Located in the center of Offenbach am Main, our theater is still somewhat hidden in the back yard of Bleichstraße 14. What started as an internal rehearsal room has grown into a public place for culture over the years and has since become established as a renowned event space. Since 1999 the theater studio has been offering a regular schedule with evening programs and children’s theater. As a continuous cooperation partner, the Office for Culture and Sports Management of the City of Offenbach a.M. is a guest here with various events.
In two hours the children design their own stick puppet with pen and paper. The dolls’ heads, which are prefabricated from soft foam or cut themselves (depending on their ability), are covered with eyes, ears, mouth and hair. With the right doll dress, you can create your own stick doll to play with.
We need a ventilated room without carpeting, tables and chairs. We provide all material.
Suitable for children from 4 to 7 years.
Events: by arrangement Fee: 150 EUR + travel expenses + 4 EUR material per child Registration: [email protected]
Maxim Gorki wrote Children of the sun 1905 in the Peter Paul Fortress, where he was arrested for his participation in protests against the military action of the so-called "Blood Sunday". The shots at the workers’ demonstration ushered in the first Russian revolution. In his play, Gorki takes the cholera riots of 1890 as a pretext and tells of the anticipation of a political and social catastrophe. He paints the dark comic image of a society that, torn apart by social and cultural conflicts, is unable to create a better world. In and out of the house of the scientist Protassov and his wife Jelena: the artist Wagin, who is in love with Jelena, the rich widow Melanija, who in turn loves Protassow, and the veterinarian Tschepurnoj, who has long been fond of Protassow’s sister Lisa. Finally, the caretaker Yegor, who understands his job but drinks and beats his wife. All characters are looking for a fulfilled, a better, a valuable life. How do you have to work, how do you live together to feel something like that? They do not understand each other, are far away, and already fail in everyday life. Everyone has set up in his cocoon neurotic, unhappy, selfish and profoundly funny. Outside on the street, "downstairs" there is no real revolt. There is no utopia in sight, and it looks like it will go on for a while.
