Rico, Oskar and the Deep Shadows – Crime, Friendship, and a Great Stage Experience
The Fürth City Theatre presents Andreas Steinhöfel's modern children's book classic in a gripping stage adaptation at the Fürth Cultural Forum. In the direction of Charlotte Van Kerckhoven, warm-hearted storytelling meets a vibrant theater atmosphere – ideal for families and young audiences.
A Friendship Grows Beyond Itself
Rico, who describes himself as "deeply gifted," and the highly gifted Oskar with the blue helmet find themselves in a breathless urban adventure. Together, they take on the trail of a kidnapper – a story that combines humor, heart, and suspense with clever dramaturgy.
Set Design, Light, Acoustics – Sensory Theater Moments
Anne Brügels' set and costumes depict urban spaces with clear, quick transformations. Light changes outline deep shadows and bright moments of friendship; the acoustics of the hall carry witty dialogue and subtle undertones. A dynamic directorial style emerges, seeking closeness to the audience.
The Art of Acting with Pace and Emotion
The ensemble around Hannah Candolini, Boris Keil, and Matthäus Zaborszyk precisely alternates between comedic and touching moments. Sharp scene rhythms, thoughtful characterizations, and a lean, audience-friendly direction maintain suspense as in a live crime drama.
From Bestseller to Stage
Steinhöfel's award-winning novel – honored with the Corine among others – reveals its strength on stage: empathy for being different, courage for friendship, and the joy of solving puzzles. Typical are heartfelt audience reactions: laughter, pauses, suspenseful silence – and loud applause.
Conclusion
Expect an energetic theater journey full of wit and warmth. Those who love clever children’s and family productions will experience great storytelling theater here – lively, fast-paced, and approachable. Now live at the Fürth Cultural Forum.
