Vati and Mutti hit their children. “Mutti hits with the wooden spoon. Vati strikes with the carpet beater.” Vati and Mutti rely on “The German Mother and Her First Child.” This guide by the NS education icon Johanna Haarer, first published in 1934, unfortunately remained a bestseller until the 1980s and influenced the childhood of millions of German children. Marie-Elisabeth Lüdde narrates how this played out in practice. She bases her work on two educational diaries she found in her parents' estate. Vati and Mutti documented their beating orgies in writing. Through numerous quotes, the author allows these scandalous diaries to flow into her own narrative. To trace the roots of violence, she also outlines the backstory of her parents. A panorama of Germany in the 20th century unfolds. A compelling voice of the culture of remembrance.

'The Little Prince' (original title: Le Petit Prince) is a narrative illustrated by the French author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. The book was published in 1943 in New York, where Saint-Exupéry was in exile, and it became his most famous work. A modern fairy tale, a poetic fable, which has been translated into over 50 languages to this day.

Olja Artes, who has already directed 'Momo' at JTB, now directs 'The Little Prince' in the Thalia Kuppelsaal. A plea for friendship and humanity for an audience aged 8 and above, but essentially for all ages.

All performances of this piece take place in the Kuppelsaal of the Thalia bookstore at Bonn Market Square.
