Über die Veranstaltung
One night, Wendy is awakened by a loud banging in her room. She discovers Peter Pan, the boy who never grows up and can't remember anything. She is fascinated by his ignorance and arrogance. Wendy follows him, leaving the comfort of her home and traveling to the lost boys in Neverland - to pirates and adventure. Peter wishes for a »nice, motherly person«. But does Wendy want to be that? In the end, Peter will need her to fight the cruel Captain Hook...
Learning to Fly with Peter Pan is an adaptation of the novel »Peter Pan« by JM Barrie. Three actors in 12 different roles, together with a musician and percussionist, tell this story quickly, entertainingly and thoughtfully. Everyone knows Peter Pan. But few know the novel. This book is filled with imagination, humor and wisdom. And - as usual in 1904 - full of clichés.
The BrilLe Theater delved deep into this template, blew off a little dust and developed a play version that focuses on a universal force: motherhood. It is a "coming of age" story that, thanks to its symbolic power, can accompany you on your way to adulthood - an adulthood that does not forget the existence of Neverland and knows the healing power of motherly love in its own heart.
