Saying no is fun: The NOhorn gallops into the theater area
A cheeky unicorn leaves the sugary Heart Forest and discovers with WASbear, NAhound and KingsDAUGHTER the great freedom of dissent: Marc-Uwe Kling's cult story becomes a short and entertaining stage experience for the whole family in Bochum.
Poetic rebellion for children aged 5 and up
Director Thorsten Bihegue condenses the plot into 45 lively minutes without a break: pointed dramaturgy, clear character designs, and a pace that captivates children and makes adults smile. The theater atmosphere remains accessible – the audience sits close to the performance, reactions contribute directly to the scene.
Set design in pastel, lights in confetti mood
Cotton candy clouds, Heart Forest colors, then contrasts: When the NOhorn sets off, the lighting mood shifts to the adventurous. The stage swiftly alternates between fairy tale poetry and cheeky present. Props are transformed with visible joy of performance – a lesson in imagination as stage art.
Ensemble with wit and timing
Jost Grix, Abenaa Prempeh, Mara Romei, and Dario Scheffler perform with precise timing, clear articulation, and fine comedy. Language games from the picture book come to life on stage thanks to rhythmic direction: A no becomes a musical motif – and an invitation to show attitude.
Family theater with attitude
The production honors Kling's humorous critique of language: From the defiance of the title character comes self-determination. Children experience serious feelings, adults recognize social allusions. Thus, a theater moment is created that entertains wisely and resonates long after.
Conclusion: A short, punchy adventure full of wordplay, colors, and stage magic. Those who appreciate lively acting, clever dramaturgy, and strong audience reactions will experience the best family theater here – compact, funny, heartfelt.
