Sparks

Young Theatre [12+]

in German

Standing in front of the gate of the Arthur McPush Cooperation's summer camp, Malte Schröder, 13, hears his mother whisper to him: »I bet this will be the best summer of your life.« But this summer camp very quickly turns out to be an extremely special holiday camp, because there are no supervisors and all the young people at the camp seem to be highly gifted. It's a paradise for fiddlers and highly gifted kids. The only problem: Malte considers himself to be the most average person on this planet and accordingly completely out of place. In a promising turn of events, he makes friends with three others, however – so maybe his mother would be right?

But soon, the four of them realize that the Arthur McPush Cooperation has its own agenda. They are being used to implement a ludicrous plan. Now it is up to every single person to stand up to this cunning cooperation.

Für die Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung (29. Januar 2025) berichtet Ingeborg Salomon von Polina Solotowizkis Inszenierung des preisgekrönten Jugendstücks, die »viele Impulse für Gespräche über Normalität und das Anderssein« biete. Dass hier »genau« hingeschaut werde, scheint ihr »neben bester Unterhaltung ein nachhaltiger Effekt dieses Theaterbesuchs« zu sein. Der Rezensentin gefällt zudem, wie in der »wandlungsfähig ausgestatteten Bühne« die Darsteller agieren: »einfühlsam«, »glaubwürdig und liebenswert«.
