A theater evening about courage, belonging, and looking into the forest of feelings

Saša Stanišić's award-winning work Wolf comes to the Kulturforum Fürth on July 7, 2026, shining a spotlight on a delicate yet gripping stage experience about friendship, exclusion, and civic courage. The Stadttheater Fürth and the Theater Mummpitz tell the story of Kemi and Jörg as a theatrical experience for young people aged eleven and older – smart, approachable, and with that emotional impact that makes good children's and youth theater so unforgettable. The novel was awarded the German Youth Literature Prize in 2024, which underscores the literary status of this material.

When the summer camp myth collapses

What initially sounds like forest, tent, and summer air quickly condenses into a story with sharper contours. Kemi, who prefers stories to trees, ends up in a camp where the quiet Jörg becomes the target of a clique. This does not result in a smooth pedagogical moral lecture but rather a dramatic space for observation, tension, and empathy. It is precisely this mixture of narrative lightness and serious core that makes the original compelling and explains why this material has been received so attentively in the theater landscape.

Dramaturgy with a subtle horror shimmer

The production combines outsider stories and coming-of-age moments with a poetic view of fear, group pressure, and the courage to find one's own voice. In literature and on stage, Wolf is repeatedly read as a piece about belonging, empathy, and character development. Its dramatic power lies precisely in this: The action remains flexible, the images open up, and the wolf in front of Kemi's bed adds a second layer to the evening – half nightmare, half sign, fully theatrical magic.
