Theater of the child
A play for families: a parcel as a true lucky charm
Alexander Kratzer, future director of the Schauspielhaus Salzburg, is staging "The Red Parcel", a play about a mysterious lucky charm, at the Theater des Kindes in Linz. Simone Neumayr and Christian Lemperle are terrific actors!
Tailor-made for the little ones, but adults will also be delighted: The latest litter in the Theater des Kindes is simply called "The Red Package".
Anna receives a red parcel from her grandfather. It soon becomes clear that it must not be opened, only given to someone else! So it sets off on a journey through the village. Because everyone is happy as soon as they hold the mysterious gift in their hands, it becomes a cure for boredom, loneliness and insomnia. It brings happiness and fun.
With speed in easy language
Nora Dirisamer has adapted the picture book by Gino Alberti for the stage. Alexander Kratzer, artistic director at Schauspielhaus Salzburg from 2025, directed the production. Set designer Michaela Mandel has created a sustainable merchant's store from found objects, while Karl Lindner's music envelops everything in a delicate, comedic soundscape.
Simone Neumayr and Christian Lemperle slip swiftly into many roles and are a terrific pair in their precise, natural slapstick. Every detail is spot on, the chase is incredibly funny, set up like a silent movie classic.
A production worth seeing at the Theater des Kindes, in simple language, for audiences aged three and up. But it is also ideal for a family outing to the theater during the Christmas season.
