Rigo and Rosa - How it all began

"Sometimes I think that the smaller you are, the bigger the desires. I'm very, very small." That's what Rosa, the mouse, says. For example, she doesn't want to be alone because she's scared. And so she walks through the bars into the enclosure of Rigo, the big leopard, of all places: the start of an unusual but rather thick friendship.

The family theatre "Rigo and Rosa" is about trust, friendship and confidence. But also about fear, saying goodbye and big questions. And they don't always need an answer, Rigo thinks: "Some questions are like the beginning of a journey. You go out with your eyes and ears open and go from one question to the next. Keep going!" And so hopefully the play will leave a lasting impression on all visitors.

The play "Rigo and Rosa" is based on the children's book of the same name. With the tender language of Lorenz Pauli and the expressive images of illustrator Kathrin Schärer, it won the Swiss Children's and Young People's Media Prize in 2017. Actor Pascal Illi makes his debut as a director with this anda events production.
