Heidi

About

High up in the mountains, the orphan child Heidi finds a home and happiness. Heidi conquers all hearts with unwavering kindness: from Alm-Öhi to Geißenpeter and even to us. But why is that? Do we long for a simple life with a bed of straw and a glass of fresh milk? Does Heidi represent the longing for a perfect world and a life in the flower meadow? Heidi has long been Swiss cultural heritage and an international pop phenomenon. It exists in countless texts, images, films, comics, series, and translations. It's always the same story. In the end, Heidi goes back to the mountains. Lena Reißner, together with the ensemble, writes a new Heidi. They ask the uncomfortable questions about the Alpine idyll: What discomfort hides behind the perfect mountain world? What danger in the kitsch of fir trees and sunsets? (A theatrical fun by Lena Reißner and Ensemble)
