Grüffelo | pohyb's und konsorten

In the organizer's words:

The Gruffalo, tell me, what kind of animal is that?

You don't know him? Then I'll describe it to you.

You don't know him either, the Gruffalo? Then you should get to know him.

The little mouse walks through the forest, and of course he is a tempting treat for everyone. She encounters a fox, an owl and a snake, but despite her fear she is not completely frightened. She conjures up a creature from her imagination; the "Grüffelo", which all the animals have never seen before. "With knobbly knees, a horrible paw and a poisonous wart on the front of his face".

With his help, she puts them all to flight. But then she herself is suddenly visited by the Gruffalo... "Oh, horror, oh horror..." - But that's not the end of the story.

A wonderful story about the power of the imagination, about courage, wit, brains and the encouragement that says: there is always a way out.

For children aged 3 - 93.

The play

is based on the story of the picture book "Grüffelo" by Axel Scheffler and Julia Donaldson.

Two narrative characters take the audience into the world of Grüffelo and the little mouse in a relaxed rhyming form. With few props, reduced costumes, rapid character changes, physical play and clownish elements, the story comes to life with room for improvisational contact with the audience.
