Description

Fairy tale about freedom and self-determination The bird that didn't want to stop singing: A hunter tries to silence a singing bird, but even after he leaves, the song rises again from a hundred new voices. This ancient fairy tale forms the core of the bilingual storytelling concert – in German and English – about freedom, flying, and the courage to find one's own voice. Interwoven with fairy tales from around the world, autobiographical stories of childhood among birds, and live music with specially composed pieces, it invites every child to sing their own song – and not to let anything silence them. Kathleen Rappolt is a storyteller and theater educator from Berlin. With her poetic storytelling plays, she delights children and adults both domestically and internationally, building bridges between people through stories. As a member of the ensemble at Theater o.

Birds and freedom have since been a recurring theme in his life and music – not least in his song Fri som en fågel (
