Setting sail into adventure: Treasure Island in the JTB Kuppelsaal
An afternoon for explorer hearts: The Young Theatre Bonn brings Robert Louis Stevenson's classic as a concentrated stage experience in the Thalia Kuppelsaal at the market. From age 8, the audience immerses in a theatrical atmosphere of salty spray, sparkling treasure dreams, and vibrant acting.
Storm on the horizon: Dramaturgy aimed at tension
The production follows Jim Hawkins' journey from the pub to aboard the Hispaniola. In pointed dramaturgy, encounters with the colorful, duplicitous Long John Silver condense into a chamber play of loyalties. Clear directorial axes, precise character depictions, and a brisk tempo ensure audience reactions ranging from goosebumps to cheers.
Stage design and light: Cartography of adventure lust
A transformable stage design turns the Kuppelsaal into a map room, ship deck, and palm bay. Projections outline coastlines, wooden modules become masts, barrels, hideouts. The lighting mood models twilight, fog, and tropical sun – a sensory choreography that rhythmically carries acoustics and music.
Acting artistry with a compass: Characters that stay
The ensemble of the JTB tells across generations: Jim as a curious navigator, Doctor Livesey as a moral anchor, Trelawney as a boastful financier – and Silver as the master of ambivalence. Precise direction and physical playing styles make classic motifs like courage, temptation, and friendship flash to life.
Family-friendly thought: Clear focus, big impact
As a studio production in the Thalia Kuppelsaal, the staging sharpens the focus on plot and conflicts. Proximity to the stage intensifies the stage experience: You hear the creaking of the floorboards, can almost smell tar and wind, feel the pull of the sails in every turn.
Conclusion: A lively classic that ignites adventure spirit and imagination – told precisely, atmospherically condensed, and played with passion. Anyone who loves pirates, secret maps, and big emotions should experience this treasure hunt live.
