Emil and the Berlin Boys

The creative team has created a contemporary musical stage production in the style of a live comic book about the famous boy named Emil Tischbein and his adventures in the big city. While trying to get back the stolen money, the young traveler in Berlin meets Gustav and his friends. Together they begin to watch the suspicious man in the bowler hat, and they have a plan. They also have a secret password, which can be learned by coming to the performance.

Erich Kästner's "Emil and the Detectives" is a wonderful opportunity to return to a world where anything is still possible. A world that knows nothing of "social status" and other adult nonsense. A world ruled by different, unwritten laws. Laws based on true friendship, honesty, trust, and courage, with no place for malicious deceit, betrayal, or evil.
