"We are home for everyone, no matter what country you come from," says King Alfonso the quarter to twelfth, who rules the island of Lummerland. But his island is tiny, only about twice the size of an apartment. One day, when the unknown boy Jim Button arrives by ship mail, the king realizes that Morrowland has no more room for the engine Emma. Since Lukas, the engine driver, does not want to part with Emma, ​​he waterproofs her and sets sail with Jim Button. On their journey, the two friends reach the distant Mandala and are given the dangerous task of rescuing Princess Li Si, who is trapped in the dragon city. After an adventurous journey to the end of the world, they succeed in overpowering the dragon Mahlzahn. Since they don't kill him In his bestseller, the writer Michael Ende traced the historical fate of Jemmy Button from Tierra del Fuego, who was kidnapped to England in the 19th century for the price of a button, and turned it into a positive: In his imaginative, humorous and world-embracing story, the foreign becomes enjoyable explored, evil disempowered - and Jemmy Button receives a fictional, happy fate as Jim Button. The composer Elena Kats-Chernin, in turn, has created a family opera from the popular material, which premiered in 2019 at the Komische Oper Berlin with great success. With the magically beautiful mandala and fantasy figures such as the pseudo-giant Turtur, the half-dragon Nepomuk, croaking desert vultures,Jim Button and Lukas the engine driver will bring to the stage as a magical, richly illustrated puppet theater with puppeteers and the ensemble of the opera house.
