Do we need to sign up?

Yes. Entry is free, but you register on the GZ Buchegg page with the number of adults and children coming. Registration closes Nov 6.

Should we bring money?

Entry is free and there's a collection (Kollekte), so bring a few francs if you'd like to give.

Will my kid follow it without Swiss German?

The story is told in Swiss German (Mundart), so kids who don't understand it will mostly be following the music and the action on stage.

Where in GZ Buchegg is it?

In the large hall (Grosser Saal) of the community center at Bucheggstrasse 93.

About

Einstein the parrot has vanished from Tim's lab at Zurich Zoo, leaving only feathers behind after a failed experiment. Tim, an animal researcher, teams up with his friend Mara, a detective who tracks down lost things, and their search takes them through space and time. Two actors tell the story with live music on stage, and afterward the musicians introduce their instruments.
