A poetic theater trail at the Brecht House that brings Brecht's children's verses to new light
At the Brecht House in Augsburg, the museum transforms into an immersive stage experience: Fish Fasch combines station theater, music, and video art into a finely balanced approach to Bertolt Brecht's children's poems. Actress Karla Andrä and video artist Barbara Weigel guide children from 8 years and adults through the rooms at Auf dem Rain 7.

When Brecht becomes the storyteller of childhood
“Once upon a time there was a fish named Fasch”: Even the title opens a literary door into Brecht's playful, clever, and often surprisingly awake world. The program draws on verses and songs that connect clever, witty, thoughtful, and provocative tones. Thus, a production emerges that not only presents but evokes, transforms, and makes audible how relevant Brecht's language remains in dialogue with young audiences.

Station theater instead of frontal stage
The trail leads through the various rooms of the Brecht House and relocates the dramaturgy into the architecture itself. Each station sets a different accent: voice, song, recitation, image. Animated video sculptures bring objects from the Brecht exhibition to life and turn the museum into an immersive stage. This form of station theater creates intimacy, concentration, and a special theatrical atmosphere in which sound, light, and space almost coalesce.

For families who want to truly experience theater
The format explicitly aims at children from 8 years and adults. This is precisely its appeal: The performance relies on the curiosity of young visitors and on the experience of adults who rediscover Brecht as a poet, playwright, and keen observer. The result is not a museum lecture but a lively, child-friendly access to literature, acting, and Brecht's reception.

A place with aura: the Brecht House Augsburg
The Brecht House in Augsburg's old town adds a historical weight to the evening that extends far beyond the occasion. Those who enter here are in close proximity to Brecht's origins and a place of cultural remembrance. The address Auf dem Rain 7, 86152 Augsburg, is both performance venue and resonance space. Arrival is possible via tram line 1 to Barfüßerbrücke/Brecht House; due to limited parking in the city center, the city of Augsburg recommends arriving by public transport, bicycle, or e-scooter. ([brechthaus-augsburg.de](https://www.brechthaus-augsburg.de/termine/fisch-fasch-theaterparcours-durch-das-geburtshaus-von-bertolt-brecht-3/))
Conclusion: Fish Fasch promises a poetic afternoon of literature, music, and scenic discovery. Those who want to experience Brecht not just by reading but sensually should experience this station theater live.
