When a summer camp becomes a powerful theater experience
With Wolf, the Stadttheater Fürth, in collaboration with the Theater Mummpitz, is bringing a novel to the stage that takes young audiences seriously while also deeply moving them. Saša Stanišić's award-winning story about courage, exclusion, and friendship unfolds into an intense stage experience for everyone aged 10 and up at the Kulturforum Fürth.
A story between forest air and threat
The beginning has impact: Kemi reluctantly lands in a summer camp, deep in the woods, where she meets Jörg, the quiet, plant-knowledgeable outsider. What initially sounds like a summer story turns into a dramatic narrative about peer pressure, vulnerability, and the desire to belong. The production focuses on those delicate moments in which friendships can truly begin.
Dramaturgy with tension, sound, and imagery
Directed by Inda Buschmann, the production relies on clear, condensed dramaturgy. The stage and costumes by Caroline Stauch aim to not only depict the forest but to make it palpable: as a place of promise, unrest, and imagination. The music by Paul Bießmann enhances the atmosphere while the performances of the five actors maintain a balance between poetic narration and direct presence. It is precisely from this that the special theater atmosphere of this production emerges.
A novel that gains new strength on stage
Saša Stanišić received the German Youth Literature Prize 2024 for Wolf. The material thrives on linguistic precision, subtle humor, and a perspective that takes children's perceptions seriously. From this, an evening of theater emerges that does not lecture but invites: to empathize, reflect, and continue sharing. Particularly for young audiences, the piece unfolds its unique authority, as it does not smooth over conflicts but rather makes them visible.
Who will find the visit worthwhile
Wolf is aimed at children, teenagers, and adults who appreciate sophisticated young theater. The piece connects literary source material, strong acting, and an emotional storytelling style that resonates long after. Those who love theater that works with images rather than slogans will find an evening here filled with soul, tension, and much conversation material.
Conclusion: Wolf promises an emotional, cleverly constructed stage experience about friendship, fear, and civil courage at the Kulturforum Fürth. Those seeking touching theater with literary depth should experience this performance live.
