DISCO! brings color, courage, and good mood to the stage
A pink nightgown, an upset father, and a kindergarten group in the midst of emotional chaos: In DISCO!, the theater in the garage transforms into a sparkling playground for young viewers aged three and up. The colorful production humorously explores prejudices, gender roles, and the freedom to view the world without bias.
When a pink nightgown turns the kindergarten upside down
Eddie and the other children just want to have a disco. But when a boy appears in pink, Eddie's dad reacts with outrage. The teacher starts to sweat, fathers clash, and even the children catch the excitement. From a seemingly small piece of clothing, a major conflict arises about who is allowed to wear which colors.
A playful dramaturgy for the youngest audience
The stage adaptation is based on the picture book by Frauke Angel and Julia Dürr and is written by Stefan Behrendt. Together with Melanie Kuch and the artistic team, Behrendt develops a production that translates complex social questions into clear, humorous play situations. The dramaturgy follows the curious gaze of children and opens up space for imagination, movement, and joint wonder.
Glitter, music, and a stage full of possibilities
Mareile Krettek designs the stage and costumes, while Thomas Tichai provides the music. A few impactful props and a lively theatrical atmosphere turn the garage into a shimmering disco paradise. Light, colors, costumes, and acoustics combine to create a sensory stage experience that appeals not only to the youngest guests but also invites adults to reflect on their own prejudices.
Acting with attitude and humor
Featuring Kai Götting and Hermann Große-Berg, the ensemble on stage brings the characters to life with energy and comedic timing. The production emphasizes direct audience proximity and a clear visual language. A review from Erlanger Nachrichten praised the performance as a relaxed, small fable that stimulates the audience's imagination with few, effective props.
