About
Tranquilla the tortoise is invited to the wedding of Sultan Leo the Twenty-Eighth, and she sets off, slowly, step by step. A spider, a snail, a lizard and a band of ravens all tell her she will never make it in time. Theater Raum Mainz plays Michael Ende's story as a mobile show, with the audience seated around the stage and kids drawn into the scenes. It is in German.
