Watch out! There’s a huge animal just outside the town! – Picture-book cinema with Kerstin Hau

Oh no, there’s a huge animal lying in front of the town! It’s blocking the way. ‘Eieiei,’ goes the Wompf. ‘Oh dear,’ groans Timpe-Ma. Something must be done!

Interactive reading and picture book theatre with Kerstin Hau for children aged 5 and over. Accompanying adults also need a ticket.

But what needs to be done? Without further ado, they cover the animal, build a bridge over it and a road round it. Problem identified, problem solved! Only Mienchen shakes his head; he doesn’t like it at all. But who listens to Mienchen anyway? So he plucks up his courage and simply speaks to the animal …

Kerstin Hau and Stella Dreis have created a picture book that is both timeless and in tune with the spirit of the times. With pace, humour and clear language, they show how we can approach the unknown. Anyone can be Mienchen or a city dweller. A story about talking to one another, reaching out to one another and learning from one another.
