SCHIFFBAU MATCHBOX
WORLD PREMIERE: 10.04.2026
50 minutes (no interval)
A production by the Junges Schauspielhaus
Imagine if everything you were told actually came true: TV would give you square eyes, spinach would give you superpowers, and whenever an adult said, “I’ll be right there”, they really would be right there. Sounds like a dream world? In this play, it just might become reality...
On stage, a quick-witted magical creature meets a typically grown-up human. One of them would love nothing more than to invent fantastic stories but isn’t allowed to, while for the other, even the tiniest untruth makes their whole world start to wobble. Together, they explore the question: Are small, loving lies sometimes better than the complicated, painful truth?
♥ The Junge Schauspielhaus is supported by the Ernst Göhner Foundation, the Elisabeth Weber Foundation, and the Komplizen Klub.
