Does my kid need to understand German?

The play is performed in German. Much of it is told through sounds, music and movement, so kids with little German can still follow Blob, but the questions the actress asks the audience are in German.

Will the sounds scare a sensitive toddler?

The theater lists both quiet and loud sounds, including a thunder tube, plus recorded music from a small speaker on stage. The room is never darkened, and you can leave and come back at any point.

Can we choose where to sit?

Yes. There are no fixed seats: you pick from beanbags, mats and other seating, and you can switch during the show. Doors open 5 minutes before the start, and coats and bags can stay outside.

Is there anything to prepare at home?

The theater has a free PDF (in German) with ideas for talking about the play and the feeling of missing someone before and after the visit.

About

Blob walks on two feet, hears with four ears and loves sounds. Today one sound is missing: the one that reminds Blob of a friend, Blib, who isn't there. One actress leads the audience on a hunt for what missing someone feels like, with a thunder tube, kalimba and sounds the kids make themselves. It's a relaxed performance: the room stays lit, and kids can move or step out.

Kids up to 12 €7, adults €15
