Large equestrian statue of a horse's head, crafted by JVA Bremen, displayed on the balcony of Goetheplatz theatre (viewable in video and image form)
The Theater am Goetheplatz in Bremen is set to host an exciting new musical, "Der 35. Mai," based on Erich Kästner's children's book "Der 35. Mai oder Konrad reitet in die Südsee." The musical premieres on October 20th at 6 pm, and will initially run until February 1st, 2025.
A three-meter-high horse head sculpture has been hoisted onto the balcony of the theater, serving as a striking symbol of the production. This intriguing sculpture, named after the character Negro Kaballo, the steppin' circus horse from the musical, was created by the inmates of JVA Bremen. The horse sculpture will remain on display until the end of the exhibition on November 25th.
The horse sculpture is not the only attraction at the theater. The foyer exhibition features works based on the contents of "Der 35. Mai" by both juvenile and adult inmates of JVA Bremen. Admission to this exhibition is free, making it accessible to all. The exhibition will run concurrently with the musical, ending on the same date, November 25th.
In the musical, the character Konrad is having trouble writing an essay for school due to his excellence in math. Meanwhile, Apotheker Ringelhuth is a significant figure in the play.
