Friendship, Courage and Stage Magic: Rico and Oskar Conquer Fürth

When a stage adventure appeals to both heart and mind, it is this lovingly sharpened theater adaptation of Andreas Steinhöfel's modern children's book classic. At the Kulturforum Fürth, director Charlotte Van Kerckhoven unfolds a fast-paced, humorous, and touching production – close to the novel, with its own theatrical signature.

Sensual Theater Atmosphere and Strong Characters

From the very first note, one can feel the energy of the ensemble: Hannah Candolini, Boris Keil, and Matthäus Zaborszyk sharpen the contours of the unequal friends with precise acting skills. Rico's keen observation meets Oskar's clever helmet-habitus – a contrast that sparks on stage. Audience reaction: warm laughter, concentrated engagement, soft murmurs during tense moments.

Dramaturgy with Heart and Pace

The dramaturgy bundles crime tension and friendship narrative into a gripping stage experience. Witty wordplay and clever imagery – from Bingo in the head to the eerie deep shadows – create a lively theater image. The pace remains high, without overwhelming the delicate nuances.

Set Design, Lighting, Costume: Clear Foundations

Anne Brügel's stage and costumes portray Berlin as a mutable playing field: stairs, passages, shadow rooms. The lighting mood gently models the transitions between detective thrill and friendship intimacy. This creates concrete scene images that provide orientation for children and aesthetic appeal for adults.

For Families – with Substance

Recommended for ages 9 and up, the production combines age-appropriate tension with themes that resonate: self-image, diversity, solidarity. The play opens conversations about talents and prejudices – without a pedagogical finger wag, but with stage poetry.

Conclusion

A clever, humorous, warm family experience. Those who love the theater atmosphere at the Kulturforum will find tempo, heart, and a story that inspires courage. Live, this friendship comes to life strongest – secure tickets now and chase away the deep shadows together.
