A poetic Christmas play for the whole family in Bonn

With The Christmas Story – Told by the Angel and the Donkey, Angel&Donkey Productions brings a warm, musical family stage experience to the stage of the House of Spring Mouse. The little donkey Fridolin, a forgetful angel, and the familiar story of Mary, Joseph, and Bethlehem combine to create a lovingly told theater atmosphere for children aged 3 and older and adults.

A Christmas fairy tale with heart, humor, and music

The production focuses on intimacy rather than pomp: two narrative figures, lively songs, and a clear dramaturgy allow the Christmas story to shine through in poetic images. Originally written in 2007 by Thandiwe Braun and Dagmar Operskalski for their own children and their friends, the material has, according to the ensemble, established itself as a recurring family program for years. The duration is about 45 minutes including Christmas carols – short enough for little listeners, rich enough for an atmospheric stage experience.

Playful direction, clear images, gentle suspense

The direction by T. Braun and D. Operskalski relies on a child-friendly mix of storytelling theater, music, and figure poetry. The donkey Fridolin almost stumbles over an angel, and from this small confusion arises the energy of the evening: memory, wonder, and communal singing. The audience does not experience a grand monumental stage, but fine acting art, precise rhythm, and a touching atmosphere that makes the essence of the Christmas season palpable rather than displayed.

House of Spring Mouse: an intimate venue with good connections

The House of Spring Mouse in Bonn-Endenich is one of the most well-known small arts theaters in the city, with over 65,000 visitors annually, and is located at Frongasse 8–10.

Public transport stops such as Auf dem Hügel and Brahmsstraße are nearby, parking can be found, among others, at Magdalenenplatz. The house has wheelchair access, a barrier-free restroom, and an induction loop.
