DISCO! brings color and children's laughter to the stage

When children just want to dance, celebrate, and be themselves, a colorful family experience begins at the theater in the garage. DISCO! humorously and child-friendly tells the story of prejudices, courage, and the freedom to choose colors and clothing.

A pink nightgown causes a stir

Eddie and the other children want only one thing: to have a disco. But when a boy in pink shows up, the kindergarten gets out of rhythm. Eddie's dad reacts with anger, the caregiver starts to sweat, and disputes and insecurity also arise among the children.

The play humorously shows how quickly prejudices arise and how a community can come together again. Colors, clothing, and dance become playful starting points for an age-appropriate learning experience about openness, respect, and self-determination.

Theater for children aged three and up

DISCO! is aimed at children aged three and up. The simple story, lively images, music, and the immediate stage world create a child-friendly access to the theater. Young audience members experience emotions, ask questions, and develop their own perspectives.

The production is based on the picture book by Frauke Angel and Julia Dürr and was adapted for the stage by Stefan Behrendt. Stefan Behrendt and Melanie Kuch from the field of theater education, along with their team, bring a production for the very young audience to the stage.

Music, movement, and shared wonder

On stage are Kai Götting and Hermann Große-Berg. The direction is handled by Stefan Behrendt, with stage and costumes designed by Mareile Krettek. Thomas Tichai is responsible for the music, and Melanie Kuch handles the dramaturgy.

The intimate atmosphere of the theater in the garage allows for a close engagement with the stage events. Families enjoy shared time filled with music, curiosity, children's laughter, and fun learning. The story strengthens important developmental themes such as empathy, expressive ability, tolerance, and a sense of community.

A special place for little theater fans

The theater in the garage is located in a former carriage house of the margravial palace. As a studio stage, the venue offers a manageable atmosphere and flexible seating that adapts to each piece.
