The Day Said Came to Us: A Poetic Theater Experience about Friendship and Understanding
When a new child joins the class, a journey into the unknown begins for everyone involved. The Young Theater Augsburg tells the touching story of Said and Ida at the cultural center abraxas – a sensitive children’s play about arriving, language, and the power of genuine encounters.
A Story that Overcomes Language Barriers
Said seems lonely and silent. Ida wants to get to know him and sets out to find his lost language. On the playground, cautious trust eventually develops. But Said speaks Arabic, and Ida speaks German. From this moment of strangeness, a playful search for common words, sounds, and written characters begins.
Dramaturgy between Picture Book, Drama, and Movement
The production draws on the picture book The Day Said Came to Us by Susana Gómez Redondo and Sonja Wimmer. The Young Theater Augsburg transforms the source material into an immediate stage encounter for children aged six and up. Words become sound, written characters become images, and communication becomes a visible theatrical process.
A Stage Design Full of Signs and Discoveries
The dramaturgy opens a sensory playing field, where tables, cabinets, drawers, and the blackboard become stations of an adventurous language search. The acoustics of spoken and unfamiliar sounds, the movements of the characters, and the focused theater atmosphere make strangeness tangible on stage without explaining or simplifying it.
Young Theater Augsburg Sets a Sign for Solidarity
This production places an open and solidary society at its center. Particularly influential is the collaboration with actor Ramo Ali, who has worked with the Young Theater Augsburg since 2012 and brings his own experiences with speechlessness, strangeness, and arriving into his artistic work. This gives the art of acting a personal and credible dimension.
A Concentrated Stage Experience for Children's Groups
The performance lasts about 45 minutes and is aimed at children aged six and up. Basic knowledge of German is required. The date is designed as a performance for groups and combines cultural education with an immediate theater experience about empathy, multilingualism, and mutual listening.
Conclusion: Theater that Opens Doors
The Day Said Came to Us invites young viewers to discover the initially alien as a richness. The audience experiences a poetic production in which a common language grows from individual words. Those who want to experience theater as a place of encounter will find a compelling and age-appropriate stage experience at the cultural center abraxas.
