A family musical by Martin Lingnau and Heiko Wohlgemuth
The tiger is dangerous? A truly wild predator? Nonsense – the thoughtful tiger finds this description quite inappropriate. After all, he has his paws full helping his animal friends! He takes us into his colorful, mysterious world and shows us what a day in a real tiger's life is like: He explains to the little elephant what a kokomeloranganavokakizitrosine is. He reveals his very secret tiger trick to the stressed-out boa constrictor. He helps the crocodile finally become braver, relieves the exhausted parrot from incubating his eggs, and hangs out for a relaxing time with the sloth. Because in the end, there's a joyful jungle party, of course, together with all his friends. Roar!
For their latest production, musical creators Martin Lingnau and Heiko Wohlgemuth – arguably the most successful authors of this genre in the German-speaking world – drew inspiration from a wonderful children's book bestseller: With surprising ideas, a large dose of wit, and plenty of music, they transform "The Mindful Tiger," the 2019 Children's Book of the Year by Przemysław Wechterowicz and Emilia Dziubak, into a whirlwind musical romp set against a magnificent backdrop, enchanting young and old alike. The production is directed by Carolin Spieß, who, in addition to "The Christmas Bakery," has already brilliantly directed numerous Schmidt children's productions such as "The Robber Hotzenplotz and the Moon Rocket" and "Little Störtebeker."
"The Mindful Tiger" – a fun family musical with ten catchy songs, wonderful costumes and puppets, and a powerful message that comes on quiet paws.
The project's patron is Rolf Zuckowski: "'The Mindful Tiger' is sure to bring you lots of joy. He takes you on an exciting, funny, and even educational visit to the rainforest, and you'll be surprised to learn that a tiger can be quite different from what you've previously imagined. I hope you enjoy it!"
