A warm-hearted stage adventure full of wit, tension and quiet greatness

With Rico, Oskar and the Deep Shadows, a modern children's book classic is coming to the stage of the Kulturforum Fürth. The play adaptation of the novel by Andreas Steinhöfel tells the story of Rico, the self-proclaimed deeply gifted observer, and Oskar, who is clever, cautious, and rides around with a crash helmet. Friendship turns into a stage event that takes children seriously and touches adults. The material has received numerous awards, including the German Youth Literature Prize in 2009, and is already considered a fixed point of reference in contemporary children's literature.

A children's crime story with heart and clear vision

The story thrives on its unusual perspective: Rico narrates with a mixture of curiosity, linguistic wit, and great precision. It is precisely this attitude that makes the material on stage so appealing because tension, humor, and tenderness do not exclude each other, but intertwine anew in every scene. The novel is acclaimed as a genre mix of detective story, picaresque novel, and comedic children's novel.

Dramaturgy between shadows and friendship

From this unfolds a piece on stage about fear, courage, and learning to see. Rico notices the eerie deep shadows in the back building, Oskar brings the counterworld of giftedness and nervousness, and together they grow into a duo that instantly creates presence in the theater. For a young audience, this creates a stage experience that does not preach but captivates. The official announcement describes the production as a successful piece that has repeatedly run in front of sold-out houses since its premiere in 2025.
