Do we need to sign up?

Yes. Theater Basel asks families to register in advance through its booking page, linked on this page.

Does my kid need to understand German?

Yes. It is a spoken story told in German, so kids without German will have little to follow.

About

A storytelling evening at Theater Basel, part of the Swiss Storytelling Night (Schweizer Erzählnacht). Actors from the Basler Compagnie take kids along as they set sail on an adventure at sea. It suits school-age kids who follow spoken German well and like hearing a story told by actors. Kids who don't understand German will get little out of it.
