A poetic children's theater about freedom, imagination and a cat with a mind of her own
In the Green Play City Dransdorf, the theater Lutz Großmann unfolds a lovingly narrated creation story for children aged five and up. The Cat Who Does What She Wants combines puppetry, storytelling, and vibrant soundscapes into a stage experience that takes children's curiosity seriously while also touching adult companions with its fine dramaturgy.
A story that begins with wildness
At the beginning, there is a world where everything is still unrestrained and open. From this originality, Horst Hawemann's text develops a playful narrative about the emergence of order, imagination, and coexistence. Lutz Großmann guides the audience with humor and precision through a world of characters where wild animals become pets, and only the cat remains true to her own instinct.
Puppetry with a sense of rhythm and imagery
The production thrives on a strong theatrical handwriting: a storyteller, a large drum, animal figures, and a small human family create a dense interplay of language, movement, and acoustics. Especially in children's theater, a special atmosphere emerges where concentration and wonder mutually invigorate each other. The nearly 50 minutes compress into a clear, accessible, and simultaneously poetic stage moment.
Between wit, warmth, and clever symbolism
The material unfolds its effect not through loudness but through precision. The cat becomes a symbol of independence, imagination, and self-assertion. The press praised the piece for its language studded with symbols and the light, flowing effect of the performance. Exactly therein lies the quality of this theater experience: It speaks directly to children and opens a second, quiet level of interpretation for adults.
A special place for young audiences
The Green Play City Dransdorf, with its nature-oriented grounds, provides a fitting framework for this performance. The open environment enhances the idea of movement, discovery, and childlike imagination. Those looking for theater for families will find here a format that does not lecture but invites: to watch, empathize, and dream on.
Conclusion: This performance promises a warm, imaginative, and carefully crafted children's theater experience that lingers long after with its blend of poetry, puppetry, and humor. Those who want to experience the power of a clever, poetic stage should not miss this event.
