A children's crime story full of heart, wit, and excitement at the Kulturforum Fürth

When the curtain rises on June 6, 2027, at the Kulturforum Fürth, literary classic meets vibrant stage art: Rico, Oskar and the Deep Shadows takes you deep into a story about friendship, fear, bravery, and the subtle cracks in everyday life. The theatrical adaptation by Charlotte Van Kerckhoven, based on the novel by Andreas Steinhöfel, brings the highly acclaimed material as a family-friendly stage experience to the Fürth stage. The novel was awarded the German Youth Literature Prize in 2009 and is long considered a modern classic of children's literature.

A story that shines between crime and poetry

Rico considers himself deeply gifted, while Oskar wears his crash helmet like a silent shield against the world. From this unusual friendship, a theatrical evening emerges that touches on significant themes with a light hand: being different, self-assertion, and trust. The source material thrives on precise observation, linguistic wit, and a childlike perspective that transforms the everyday into mysterious signs. This blend makes the evening appealing to children, families, and adult theatergoers who appreciate good dramaturgy.

The stage as a place for tension and empathy

In the theater, the material unfolds not as a mere retelling but as an atmospheric intensification. A good set design can transform a Berlin apartment building into a world of shadows, questions, and small acts of heroism. Coupled with lighting mood that makes the deep shadows almost physically palpable, and an acting style that balances comedy and seriousness, a precise stage experience is created for young audiences that intrigues without overwhelming. The Kulturforum Fürth provides the perfect setting with its unique blend of industrial character, historical substance, and modern theater atmosphere.
