A children's mystery that captivates heart and imagination on stage

With Rico, Oskar and the Deep Shadows, the Kulturforum Fürth brings one of the most popular children’s and youth novels by Andreas Steinhöfel to the stage. The adaptation by Charlotte Van Kerckhoven combines humor, suspense, and keen observation to create a stage experience that captivates both children and adults.

When neighborhood turns into adventure

Rico, who describes himself as profoundly gifted, and Oskar, who is clever, cautious, and travels with a crash helmet, are among those stage characters that instantly create closeness. From a seemingly ordinary Berlin house facade, a criminal case unfolds, working with childlike curiosity, rhythmic language, and precise dramaturgy. It is precisely this mix of everyday realism and detective fantasy that makes the material so vivid.

Dramaturgy with pace, humor, and gentle melancholy

Andreas Steinhöfel’s novel was awarded the German Youth Literature Prize in 2009 and is already regarded as a modern classic of children's literature. The stage adaptation utilizes this literary strength: short, clear scenes, comedic frictions, and an emotional friendship story that unfolds beneath the surface of the mystery. This creates a play of tension and affection, riddles and security on stage.

The Kulturforum as an atmospheric performance venue

The Kulturforum Fürth provides the suitable framework for this production. The hall combines a historic industrial backdrop with modern stage technology, and the light-filled foyer and clear architecture create a theatrical atmosphere that concentrates the gaze on the performance. The barrier-free access, wheelchair spaces, and accessible restroom ensure that the visit is also pragmatically well prepared.

For families, school classes, and theater enthusiasts

The production targets a broad audience, especially families and young viewers who enjoy stories with heart and intellect. Anyone who appreciates poetic children's theater, lively acting, and a cleverly told stage mystery will find an afternoon filled with audience reactions ranging from laughter to enthusiastic engagement and quiet astonishment.

Conclusion: Rico, Oskar and the Deep Shadows promises a heartfelt theater afternoon at the Kulturforum Fürth, filled with suspense, humor, and moving friendship. Anyone wanting to experience literary children’s theater live should mark this date and secure their seats early.
