It is New Year’s Eve, and the magical privy councillor Professor[TA1] Irrwitzer and his aunt, the money-minded sorceress Tyrannja Vamperl, have neglected to fulfil their quota of wicked deeds for the year. They were supposed to make at least ten thousand trees die, permanently poison five rivers, exterminate various species, and much more besides. If only there were some magic ingredient to accelerate the destruction! Then Tyrannja gets her hands on the recipe for the satanical, archaeologically mendacious, alcoholic wish potion, which can solve all her problems by midnight. However, the raven Jakob Krakel and the tom cat Maurizio di Mauro get wind of their machinations and thwart their diabolical schemes. Perhaps the destruction of our planet can be prevented? A race against time begins. “Der satanarchäolügenialkohöllische Wunschpunsch” is one of author Michael Ende’s last great works – extremely topical, highly amusing and with a fast and furious plot. Christina Rast’s most recent production at the Schauspielhaus was “Das doppelte Lottchen".
