The starting point was the ballad “Der Knabe im Moor” (The Boy on the Moor) by Annette von Droste-Hülshoff. The children developed an improvised narrative theater piece with pantomime scenes that tells a story about fear of the forces of nature. They were supported in the staging by actress and theater educator Nikola Rappel.

Homemade masks made from recycled and natural materials, created under the guidance of artist Erika Kassnel-Henneberg, served as imaginative props and at the same time challenged the children to find alternative uses for them in order to meet their special needs.
