Story Theater by Mike Kenny
Translated from English by Grete Pagan in an adaptation by Katharina Mayrhofer

Commissioned work of the Schauburg/4th-7th grade
Nik's new neighbor is named Nisha and originally comes from Syria. His father does not trust Nisha's family. Nik prefers to walk a few steps behind Nisha on the way to the bus. Then Nisha is harassed on the bus and panics, leaving her backpack behind. Nik takes the backpack and becomes entangled in a lie. In his search for her backpack and Nisha's story, Nik learns more about himself than he expected.

The director Andrea Gronemeyer has a long journey with the British author Mike Kenny: His play "The Boy with the Suitcase" was experienced in her production on stages in Europe and India for 10 years, most recently in 2018/19 in Bangalore and the Schauburg Munich. Following the play about two young people fleeing to Europe, "Zugvögel" now addresses the theme of arrival in a foreign country. With Nik and Nisha, two young people seek their way to each other. Can a sense of WE emerge despite the different life paths? In their attempt to understand each other's story, xenophobia and hatred, homesickness and longing, but also adventure and friendship are woven into a humorous and poetic narrative.
