Mark Twain’s classic children’s book about friendship, wild adventures, growing up and first tender love, with music by the exiled American, Kurt Weill. Exciting musical theatre—and not only for the youngest!

Tom Sawyer enjoys a carefree life with his Aunt Polly in a small town on the Mississippi, although he time and time again makes her life difficult with his pranks. But when he and his friend Huckleberry Finn accidentally witness a murder one night, a shadow falls upon their carefree existence. And when Tom and his friend Becky get lost in a cave during an excursion, it really is a matter of life and death. Then, the outsider Huckleberry Finn surprises everyone with his courage and determination.

Based on five songs that Kurt Weill sketched for a musical based on Mark Twain’s original, shortly before his premature death, and using other songs written after his emigration to the United States, Kai Tietje, Tobias Ribitzki and John von Düffel have created a new Musical Theatre piece. Echoing the American tone of the original, it brings special childhood moments to the stage in episodic scenes.

Director Tobias Ribitzki tells this story with a rainbow of images that are as simple as they are impressive, leaving plenty of room for the audience’s own imagination.

By the way
Anyone who likes Kurt Weill’s music will love Tom Sawyer. These little-known songs are among the best this composer has created for the stage.

English

Mark Twains Kinderbuchklassiker über Freundschaft, wilde Abenteuer, das Erwachsenwerden und die erste zarte Liebe mit der Musik des Deutsch-Amerikaners Kurt Weill.

In einer kleinen Stadt am Mississippi genießt Tom Sawyer ein unbeschwertes Leben bei seiner Tante Polly. Seine größten Probleme: jeden Tag in die Schule gehen zu müssen, Becky, die ihn nicht mal anschaut und der doofe Streber Alfred Temple. Eines Nachts aber werden Tom und sein bester Freund Huckleberry Finn Zeugen eines schauerlichen Mordes. Aus Furcht vor dem gefährlichen Täter schwören sie sich, keinem etwas zu verraten. Als der Verdacht dann aber auf den Falschen fällt, ist der Mut und der Zusammenhalt der beiden Jungen gefragt …
