An exciting theater evening full of friendship, secrets, and fine comedy

With Rico, Oskar and the Deep Shadows, Andreas Steinhöfel's award-winning children's mystery comes to stage adaptation by Charlotte Van Kerckhoven at the Kulturforum Fürth. The story of the developmentally challenged Rico and the highly gifted Oskar combines a thirst for adventure, wit, and warmth into a stage experience that captivates both young and adult audiences alike. The literary original is recognized as highly acclaimed and is considered a key work of modern children's and youth literature.

When a holiday notebook turns into a detective story

Rico is supposed to just keep a diary. But in the encounter with Oskar, everyday life tilts into a small world of excitement, distrust, and gentle friendship. It is precisely this mix that gives the material its charm: the dramaturgy remains light-footed, yet beneath the surface works a serious theme about being different, perception, and solidarity. From this unfolds a precise production on stage that intertwines childlike curiosity with theatrical clarity. ([carlsen.de](https://www.carlsen.de/pondus/product/625?utm_source=openai))

The stage as a cartography of a large city

The strength of this theater evening lies in transforming the everyday into atmosphere. Paths, corners, shadows, and hiding spots become play areas where tension and poetry meet. For a young audience, this is an immediate experience; for adults, a reminder of how powerful theater can create entire worlds with simple means. The character of Rico demands acting skill with precise timing, as his view of the world relies on observation, accuracy, and verbal wit.

Being different as a strength, friendship as a motor

Charlotte Van Kerckhoven's stage adaptation meets a material that has reached generations since its publication. Rico and Oskar are opposites that do not cancel each other out but complement one another. It is from this that the audience reaction arises that characterizes good family and youth theater evenings: laughter, intense silence, and in the end the feeling of having witnessed a human story that goes far beyond the criminal plot.
