A poetic theater experience about courage, fear, and solidarity

With Wolf, the City Theater Fürth brings Saša Stanišić's award-winning children's novel to life as a vibrant stage experience at the Kulturforum Fürth, in collaboration with the Theater Mummpitz. The story takes us straight into a summer camp in the woods, where Kemi meets Jörg, faces exclusion, insecurity, and finally, encounters a wolf by the bed. This thrilling premise transforms into a production that draws both young and adult audiences into a dense theatrical atmosphere.

When a summer camp becomes a test of character

The material thrives on strong contrasts: Kemi thinks in stories, Jörg knows every plant by name, and Marko's clique puts pressure on the camp's atmosphere. This dramatic intensification gives the performance a unique tension. From everyday life comes danger, from insecurity a conflict, and from distance the possibility of friendship. The strength of this theater adaptation lies precisely in this: it tells not only of fear, but also of civil courage and the moment when someone stands up.

Saša Stanišić's language as a stage for images and feelings

The novel was awarded the German Youth Literature Prize in 2024 and is considered one of the most impressive contemporary works for young readers. The stage adaptation can rely on a language that is rich in imagery, clever, and close to children's perceptions. Such imagery has a powerful effect in theater: forest, sleeping bag, night, and the sudden presence of the wolf become scenic stimuli that engage the imagination and acoustics alike.

Direction, acting, and the magic of coming together

The collaboration between City Theater Fürth and Theater Mummpitz promises a finely balanced interplay of acting, rhythm, and emotional precision. The production focuses on intimacy rather than spectacle: on clear characters, evident arcs of tension, and a dramaturgy that sharpens the view for exclusion and empathy. Thus, a stage experience arises that derives its power not from volume but from empathy.

For families, schools, and anyone who loves strong theater

Wolf is aimed at an audience from the age of 10 and offers plenty of discussion material for families, school classes, and culture-interested visitors. The play addresses bullying, friendship, and courage with great sensitivity and without a pedagogical finger-wagging. Precisely for this reason, it has a lasting effect: the audience reaction is likely to range from tense silence to thoughtful empathy.

Conclusion

Wolf at the Kulturforum Fürth promises a theater afternoon that touches, challenges, and lingers long after. Those who appreciate strong stories, clever productions, and emotional youth theater should not miss this date and experience the stage event live.
