Schellen-Ursli: A Musical for Young and Old

Description

High up in the mountains, far from here, lives a little boy just like you. With these enchanting words begins the Swiss children's book classic by Selina Chönz and Alois Carigiet. Now, "Schellen-Ursli" is conquering the stages of German-speaking Switzerland as a colorful musical, bringing mountain magic, music, and heartbeat for the whole family. Little Ursli lives with his family in the idyllic mountain village of Guarda in Engadin. Every year in March, all children look forward to Chalandamarz: with loud bell ringing, winter is to be driven away and spring welcomed. But Ursli gets the smallest bell of all! Sad about the mockery and laughter of the other children, he sheds bitter tears. But luckily, Ursli is not alone. His faithful friend, the mouse Mür, bravely stands by his side. Together, they make a daring decision: they want to fetch the large family bell from the high-lying family Mayensäss! Icy cold, a raging snowstorm, and snow-covered slopes test them – but Ursli and Mür gather all their courage and push forward step by step. Will they succeed in overcoming the storm? And does Ursli manage to return to the village in time with the heavier bell? The loving staging by Brigitt Maag and Paul Weilenmann (Karl’s daring Gassenschau) has already delighted thousands of viewers. A heartwarming children's musical about friendship, family, courage – and a great adventure in the mountains.
