When a Lion Learns Friendship: A Musical Theater That Warms Hearts
A Friend for Lion Boltan brings captivating storytelling theater with live music to Amberg. The Hamburg ensemble Theater Triebwerk unfolds a poetic desert fable about courage, loyalty, and belonging – a stage experience for children from 6 years old and everyone who loves great stories.
Told Images: Desert, Oasis, Adventure
The dramaturgy follows the eponymous book by Klaus Kordon and Pieter Kunstreich: Boltan, ruler of the oasis, meets the parched camel Murat. From a chance encounter grows a friendship that must withstand jealousy and cunning. In clear scenes, carried by live saxophone and cello sounds, a theater atmosphere is created that makes the heat of the desert, the shimmering of the air, and the comfort of a nighttime oasis sensibly palpable.
Music as the Engine of the Production
Triebwerk's signature: storytelling theater with live stage music as a theatrical element. The cello pulsates like footsteps in the sand, saxophone lines paint horizons. Thus, acting and sound merge into a compact, child-friendly production that carries itself with precise direction and pointed character portrayal without large staging.
Friendship Under Test
A desert fox bickers, a caravan forces a decision: betrayal, captivity, and liberation intensify the plot. The audience's reaction: tense silence, then relieved laughter when Boltan jumps over his shadow. The stage tells of loyalty – not a lesson but living theater.
Stage Design, Light, Acoustics
Reduced stage design, transformable through props and lighting moods: warm sand tones, cool night blue, harsh midday brightness. The acoustics of the Stadttheater Amberg support clear speech; every whisper, every cello pizzicato reaches even the back rows.
Conclusion: A captivating, musically driven fable about friendship and stance – entertaining, humorous, touching. Ideal as a family outing and a strong opening day at the children's theater festival. Experience live, cheer along, engage in conversation.
