A theater evening about courage, friendship, and fear in the woods
With Wolf, the city theater of Fürth, in cooperation with the Mummpitz Theater, brings Saša Stanišić's award-winning children's novel to the stage. The story takes place in a summer camp in the middle of the woods, where Kemi meets Jörg, a clever outsider with an eye for plants, silence, and the subtle cracks within a group. This material creates a theatrical experience about belonging, exclusion, and the power of imagination. The performance on June 28, 2026, starts at 6:00 PM at the Kulturforum Fürth.

When the woods become the stage
The material thrives on strong imagery: a camp in the green, a clique that applies pressure, and a wolf that stands by the bed at night like an embodiment of one's own fear. The direction by Inda Buschmann focuses on a young audience without diminishing the seriousness of the topic. The stage and costumes by Caroline Stauch, the music by Paul Bießmann, and the dramaturgy by Anna-Lena Kühner together shape a dense theatrical atmosphere where tension and empathy lie closely together.

An award-winning material with relevance
Saša Stanišić's novel was awarded the German Children's Literature Prize 2024. The jury praised the relatable, comically broken language and the precise observation of bullying and silence. This precisely is the strength of this stage material: It seriously addresses young people without appearing pedagogical and simultaneously opens adults' eyes to peer pressure, courage, and civil courage.
