About

A Little Mermaid story after Pierre Gripari, with the roles swapped. Prince Blub lives on a small island in the ocean, falls head over heels for a mermaid, and must become a sea creature himself to live with her. His father, the king, has other ideas. A narrator tells it with live clarinet and piano and music from several centuries. It suits kids who can follow a story in German.

Adults CHF 30, kids CHF 10
