How long is the show, and will my toddler sit still for it?

It runs about an hour. The actors move around the whole time, chasing each other and playing with the set, so there is always something to watch. Kids sit on cushions and benches right up close, which keeps them engaged.

Do we need to speak German?

No. The show uses very little spoken language and is built on play, hiding and finding, so a toddler follows by watching.

My kid gets anxious when someone disappears. Is this a good fit?

One player disappearing and coming back is the heart of the show. It is playful, and the two actors find each other again by the end. If your child struggles with that kind of game, you may want to skip it.

About

Two actors play with opposites: up and down, in front and behind, together and alone. They chase, hide and seem to vanish on a stage full of surprises, with fast moments and quiet ones. Director Simone Oswald, a pioneer of theater for the very youngest, developed the show with Munich nursery children.
