Based on E.B. White's classic children's book "Wilbur and Charlotte", "Wilbur and His Friends" is a special performance for children aged five and over. The focus is on the sad pig Wilbur, who stands alone in a strange stable and waits in vain for his playmates, experiencing a lot in the process.
Under the title "Eliot and Isabella in the Dark Forest" on Sunday, February 23 (3 p.m., Kniestedt Church), rat children solve a criminal case. An adventure that children aged 4 and over can look forward to.
On Sunday, 15 March (3 p.m.), the children's theater Kunstdünger will be a guest at the Kniestedt Church. "Hannah and the Soil Vine" tells the exciting story of Hannah, who takes magic beans home with her and experiences a lot in the process, for children aged 5 and over. The story is based on the English fairy tale "Jack and the Beansteak", which is thought to have originated in the 16th century. However, a new study suggests that the story is one of the oldest fairy tales handed down to mankind and is around 5,000 years old.
"Wool in the Water" continues on Sunday, April 19, in the series "No Sunday like any other" in the Kniestedt church (3 pm). The focus is on the down-to-earth sheep Wolle, who has to look for a new home because everything is under water. Children aged four and over experience an animalistic search for justice. An imaginative children's theater production with lots of music about the search for home. An imaginative successor to the well-known children's play "Wolle und Gack". A change of perspective.
There will be a play for kindergartens and school classes (for children aged five and over) on Thursday, March 12 (10.30 am, Kulturscheune in Lebenstedt) with "1 vor dem Anderen". Valentin and Waldemar, the clownish pair of friends from the first children's play König & König, have found a story treasure chest that reveals the course of a story to them piece by piece and promises a treasure at the end. The children's play by Niels Klaunick, based on motifs from the children's book "The Ugly Duckling" by H.C. Andersen, tells with comedic lightness about the basis, the cement of our society. Please register in writingantje.fischerstadt.salzgitterde. Tickets cost six euros (tickets for ten or more people cost five euros per person).
Tickets for the plays in the Kniestedt church cost 5 euros and are available at the box office and at the Lebenstedt and Bad community centers.
Founded in 1996, the "No Sunday like any other" series is primarily aimed at families who want to spend an afternoon together with their children in a cultural way. The series, financially supported by Sparkasse Hildesheim Goslar Peine, with ten performances of drama and puppet theater, is attracting more and more young (and old) spectators.
Further information on all performances can be found on the Salzgitter city website (www.salzgitter.de, calendar of events) or by contacting Antje Fischer from the culture department (phone: 0171/8622976).
