For the " Mobile musical theatre" we travel with light luggage, without elaborate stage design, because we play locally, in the kindergartens. Children are a great audience: open, curious, enthusiastic. They miss neither curtain nor orchestra and have no firm idea of how an audience should behave.
Children are born researchers. Two musicians visit them with their equipment in the kindergarten and go on a music-theatrical research trip with them. Together they ask themselves: How are sounds created? What does music consist of? Who or what is this mysterious TIRILI?
For "Expedition TIRILI" we are working together with children from our Kastanienallee kindergarten. In the run-up to the expedition, the kindergarten experimented with sounds and themes. This process flowed into the development of the production.
