“Who are you?” croaks the frog. The little something simply cannot find an answer to this difficult question. So it sets off and asks all the other animals: the horse, the bird, the fish...
They all seem somewhat strange, curious, but also eager to find various differences. Exhausted, sad, and perplexed, it ultimately feels like “Nothing at all.” But suddenly it notices something unique...
A colorful story of One who set out to find themselves in Others but ultimately finds themselves within. A fantastic tale of the search for identity & orientation, tolerance & awareness, of being “different” and - precisely because of that - of “belonging.” In verse, rhyme, and song for the little children. A plea for the whole family. Told and sung by a strangely large colorful, constantly transforming being, a musical box on 4 long legs, and a small checkered cheeky inhabitant of the box, who climbs the thread of the story. “Playing,” all Three together find an answer....

Play: Annegret Geist
Director: Friederike Krahl

“The joy of watching this search for identity primarily lies with Annegret Geist. With visible joy in performance, she trots, hops, and claps across the small stage in her colorful foam rubber skirt, whinnying and humming, croaking and singing... All light-footed, convincing, and entirely without the mother-is-now-playing-something attitude found in some puppeteers. A magical piece.”
