Big Questions, Small Audience and Lots of Theatre Magic

On Sunday, November 22, 2026, the audience at the Kulturhaus abraxas in Augsburg will experience an interactive children's theatre for children aged 5 and up. Giant Problems – Make way, Snail! combines humor, music, movement, and a child-friendly story about justice, rules, and coexistence.

A Snail Guards the Large Room

Saskia is a snail without a shell and takes her job as security very seriously. No one is allowed to enter the large, empty room because it belongs to an owner. Right next door live Eddie, the elephant, and Georg, the tallest person in the world, in a room that is far too small. Both wish for more space – but the boundary between the areas seems unmovable.

Thinking About Fairness and Boundaries in a Child-Friendly Way

The play invites children to develop and actively express their own thoughts: What is fair? What rules do we need? Who gets to decide? The interactive production makes these questions immediately tangible with lots of music, humor, and linguistic finesse. This creates an age-appropriate learning experience that fosters curiosity, empathy, and conversation starters for the family.

A Lively Family Experience with Lots of Joy in Playing

When basketball is to be played in a small space, funny situations and surprising conflicts arise. Children experience theatre not just as an audience but as a communal family experience filled with movement, imagination, and children's laughter. The story takes young people seriously and opens a playful approach to development, coexistence, and social responsibility.

Award-Winning Source Material and Professional Ensemble

The play is by Fayer Koch. The director is Gianna Formicone, and the stage features Ramo Ali, Carina Bernrieder, and Susanne Reng. The jury of the Dutch-German Children's and Youth Dramatists Award Kaas & Kappes 2024 honored the play as a humorous and linguistically outstanding theatre experience.

Conclusion: Laugh, Wonder, and Discuss Together

Giant Problems – Make way, Snail! awaits families with a warm-hearted, witty, and stimulating performance about fairness, boundaries, and the desire for more space. Those who wish to combine quality time with a smart children's theatre will experience a special family outing for children aged 5 and up at Abraxas.
