Krabat

Driven by strange dreams, Krabat, an orphan, seeks out a mill at Koselbruch. There, he’s offered an apprenticeship. Krabat agrees and quickly finds new companions at the mill. Soon he realises that he entered into an unusual agreement: Apart from teaching him to be a miller, the sinister master also teaches his apprentice the art of black magic, which can manipulate nature and people. Fascinated by the possibilities of these spells, Krabat becomes a diligent student. Little by little, he learns what other dark secrets the mill holds.

Using techniques from puppetry, »Krabat« tells of the temptations of power, of resistance against injustice and the fight for freedom.

As part of theater+, there will be one »relaxed performance« of this play.
