Peterchens Mondfahrt

At Christmas time 2025, we take off - together with Peterchen, Anneliese and Mr. Sumsemann, a beetle who wants to retrieve one of his grandfather's lost legs from the moon. Published in 1915, the fairy tale about “Peterchens Mondfahrt” is considered a classic of children's literature. The team around theater founder and director Hans-Dieter Maienschein has given the story a new musical guise, with sparingly but effectively used sounds of violin and piano. And so the young audience can accompany Sumsemann the cockchafer as he joins Anneliese and Peterchen on an adventurous journey to the moon to bring his grandfather's leg back to earth.
