Hello Maike, hello Stefan,

I want to thank you all again. Even though I was eyed suspiciously by little children in Bad Soden because, as a big kid, I was waiting all alone for "The Little Earth Bird," I'm so glad I slipped away from work much earlier and into the theater in Bad Soden. It's a true joy to watch you perform. Whether the flute playing makes the air vibrate, whether the mole tangibly reveals all his wishes and feelings to the audience and they sigh along, whether the cow chews her cud so wonderfully, whether the flies perform a cheeky little dance around the last droppings, whether the flowers rise up from the hill, whether the butterflies flutter through the air, whether the rooster puts on his unique flying show,

whether the costumes emphasize the characters, or, or, or…

It was truly a delight. I learned so much about timing, detached movements, rhythm and pauses, pantomime, voice and mood, the three-part structure of acting, and so much more… I laughed so much. A tear or two even flowed. I was amazed, took in so much, felt deeply moved, and got goosebumps. And it was so sweet to see,

how the children came to the stage to experience you up close again.

You were the highlight of my week. I walked to Schwalbach in the rain, feeling incredibly lighthearted and completely inspired. All the way home, I wished I could do that too. Anyone can expect anything, but not everyone can be truly moved. The way you bring this art to life is so full of life, love, dedication, and professionalism that it's impossible not to be captivated.

I take my hat off to you guys!

Thank you very much and best regards

Jana
