A fantastical children's theater full of robber cunning and stage magic

With The Robber Hotzenplotz, a true children's book classic takes the stage at the community center Die Villa - amphitheater. Otfried Preußler's famous Kasperl story combines cheeky wit, clear good-and-evil constellations, and that unmistakable theater atmosphere that has captivated young audiences for generations.

When the coffee grinder is declared an adventure

It all begins with a mischief that immediately activates the heart and imagination: The robber Hotzenplotz steals the grandmother's beloved coffee grinder. From this small, almost everyday loss grows a big stage experience. Kasper and Seppel set out on the hunt, but the production thrives on how quickly childlike courage turns into a turbulent comedy of misunderstandings.

Kasper theater with pace, humor, and clear dramaturgy

The story unfolds its charm in the classic dramaturgy of Kasperl theater: cunning characters, sharpened situations, winking tension, and an audience that instinctively goes along. This is exactly where the strength of this material lies. The direction can create strong images with few means, while acting, linguistic wit, and rhythmic scene changes keep the performance lively.

A material that has worked on stage for decades

Otfried Preußler's Robber Hotzenplotz is regarded as a piece of living theater tradition. The author created a modern Kasperl story that children immediately understand and adults appreciate for its precision, humor, and timeless character depiction. In theater practice, this material belongs to those classics that repeatedly provoke new productions, new stage designs, and new audience reactions.

The outdoor performance makes the afternoon special

The performance location in the amphitheater at the Bürger Treff Die Villa gives the afternoon its own color. Open air, close proximity to the audience, and a relaxed summer atmosphere are ideally suited for a family afternoon with children's theater. If the weather turns, the large hall of kubic offers a suitable alternate location. Thus, the stage experience remains flexible and manageable.
