Der Wettlauf zwischen Hase & Igel - Puppenspiel
"Huiiiih, one should have binoculars! But who should carry them?" says the Fox when the Hare, with ears like a storm, races through the furrow. "You, little wagging tail," cheers from the audience rows. The outcome of the story is already known: The Hedgehog cleverly outsmarts the Hare and wins the bet for a golden Luidor, a bottle of brandy, and ...? And then? Is that it? Not quite, because somehow there isn't just black and white, and after this race, everything is different than before.
Different, rival characters find common interests and become friends. In this competition, there is no bloody but a harmonious ending. Cheerfully, Hedgehog and Hare sing - gladly together with the audience - the song "The Cuckoo and the Donkey" at the finale.
The Globe Theater always has surprises in store and shows us the fairy tale as the Brothers Grimm wrote it - but with its own interpretation and interesting nuances that captivate the audience.
In a proven yet new way: puppet theater in an open style - fast and precise, witty and lovely, through the combination of several dramatic levels and a special love for language and detailed costumes, enjoyable for both children and adults. The characters include Mr. Hedgehog Pik with his wife, Hare Hasenohr with his stylish scooter, and the beautiful Fox Rotschwanz.
Jost Braun's production is part of a series of thrilling and entertaining adaptations of Grimm's fairy tales, emphasizing not only an original, vivid storytelling but also a special focus on the diversity and beauty of language.
The "Hare" recently entertained thousands of visitors of all ages during a guest tour through Chile, with a total of 16 performances in 9 cities, previously captivating audiences in guest performances in Vienna, Regensburg, and Prague, and had an amusing intermezzo as a musical "Thomanerhase" for the 800th anniversary of the world-famous Thomanerchor in Leipzig.
