Discover ANOUK, the new and eagerly awaited children's musical for the whole family. Based on the popular children's books by Hendrikje Balsmeyer and Peter Maffay, an impressive production for children aged four and over is currently being created.

Anouk is a lovable and helpful girl. However, there is one thing she doesn't like at all: going to bed! Her parents are all the more surprised when Anouk suddenly goes to bed at night full of anticipation. What they don't know: Every night, a magical door opens to a world full of fantasy and adventure for Anouk. She experiences exciting adventures, accompanies pirates on treasure hunts, masters challenges in the jungle and meets colorful characters at the fair. In the process, Anouk makes new friends and helps other children in difficult and challenging situations. When she tells her parents about her night-time adventures the next day, they always say: "Honey, you only dreamed it!" But Anouk has "proof" that this is not the case. And her grandma seems to know more about it...

ANOUK - The children's musical takes young and old explorers into an imaginative world full of adventure where anything seems possible. With its characters and fascinating settings, the stage adaptation inspires the imagination and strengthens belief in the power of dreams. The playbook was written by Georg Veit and Hendrikje Balsmeyer, while Peter Maffay and his team are responsible for the musical design.

The stage adaptation remains true to the successful children's books and conveys their valuable messages. The stage design combines traditional and modern elements.
