Kannawoniwasein! – a thrilling family experience full of courage, friendship, and children's laughter
When everything suddenly goes wrong, an adventure begins for Finn that takes him across the landscape and right into life. The play Kannawoniwasein! Sometimes you just have to take off based on the children's novel by Martin Muser invites families with children from 10 years old to a fast-paced theater journey at the Staatstheater Mainz.
An adventure with a train, a tractor, and plenty of courage
Finn travels alone by train from his father in Neustrelitz to his mother in Berlin. When a stranger steals his backpack and phone, the journey turns into a turbulent search. Together with the lively Jola, Finn takes matters into his own hands. The two children flee from the police, hijack a tractor, spend the night in the woods, and follow the thief's trail.
Witty dialogues, surprising twists, and situational comedy make the story a child-friendly theater experience with high entertainment value. At the same time, young viewers experience how friendship, independence, and solidarity grow in difficult situations.
Theater that connects curiosity and development
The production is aimed at children aged 10 and older and tells age-appropriate stories about self-confidence, orientation, and dealing with unexpected challenges. Finn and Jola show that courage does not mean having no fear, but rather thinking ahead despite uncertainty and accepting help.
For families, this creates a valuable learning experience: children can discuss responsibility, trust, and joint problem-solving. The theater opens 30 minutes before the start. A short introduction by the theater education team in the foyer provides a child-friendly preparation for the performance.
Vivid performance with music and strong characters
Director Tim Schmutzler combines acting and music into a dynamic stage world. Schmutzler primarily works in the children's and youth sector and brings experience from theater projects with young people as well as from interactive children's productions. In Mainz, he is responsible for the adaptation and music in this production.
Finn and Jola are at the center of a story that combines adventure and depth. The approximately 65-minute performance runs without a break, making it particularly suitable for families who want to enjoy a concentrated and varied theater afternoon together.
Family-friendly theater visit at U17
The venue U17 is located at Tritonplatz and is accessible by elevator. Wheelchair-accessible seats are available. The front house staff assists if needed with access and orientation. For those traveling by public transport, the ticket can be used on the day of the event in the Mainz-Wiesbaden transport network and throughout the RNN fare zone as a travel ticket.
The U17 minibar offers drinks. Parents will also find additional dining options in the surrounding area. The compact duration, early start, and clear age recommendation make the performance a well-planned shared time.
Conclusion: A theater adventure that resonates long after
At Kannawoniwasein!, families can expect an energetic performance about friendship, independence, and the courage to find one's own path. Children experience excitement, humor, and wonder, while adults take away impulses for conversations about trust and responsibility. Let's go to the theater together now and accompany Finn and Jola on their extraordinary journey.
