Edith Löhle makes short work of the icons of our childhood – a matinee with breakfast

Aladdin, a love-bomber? Pumuckl, a pioneer of ghosting? The soft toys, the masked figures, the fairy-tale princes: they’re all on trial in Edith Löhle’s *Kurzer Prozess*. Find out who has which red flags and why at the reading in the bistro, accompanied by a lavish buffet.

Before the International Court of Moral Justice, the icons of our childhood must answer for values whose long-term consequences are now becoming glaringly apparent: inferiority complexes, toxic beauty ideals, distorted notions of love. Case closed. Or is it? How black and white are the boundaries of a verdict?

Whilst Chief Prosecutor Reha prepares for the trial of her life, reporter Lexi senses the story that will finally get her onto prime-time television. Amidst case files, fairy dust and headlines, something is brewing between the two of them – until their own morals begin to waver.
A zany and imaginative ride through the cultural history of our childhood ideals.

Presented by: Christine Lötscher.
