Thalia Theater Halle:
Mein ziemlich seltsamer Freund Walter

Sibylle Berg’s production for children talks about the difficulty to assert oneself in the world: Lisa is interested in many things but no one is interested in her. One evening a spaceship lands in her backyard and she gets to know the extraterrestrial Klakalnamanazdta, known as Walter for short. A fleeting yet intense friendship develops. The tragic comedy with musical elements juggles unadorned social realism with ease and slapstick.

WITH Benito Bause, Harald Höbinger, Sophia Platz, Paul Simon TEXT Sibylle Berg DIRECTION Katharina Brankatschk
