Felltuschgnusch - e schampar schöni Waldgschicht

"Felltuschgnusch" – the music theatre

A badger with woodpecker plumage? A deer in fox fur? No wonder Chief Huntsman Brünzli can hardly believe his eyes. The grumpy hunter is not entirely innocent of this "fur-kissing pleasure", as he disturbed the animals during their first spring full moon bath. And this bath in the forest pond is important, after the winter, when the old winter coat itches and stinks and everyone is a bit irritable. The Seichhörnli is not entirely innocent either, the cheeky squirrel who simply can't help but make a squirrel. For example, secretly swapping the skins and feathers, which the animals have taken off so neatly for the bathroom.

How the animals feel, in their foreign furs, and how they teach the trigger-happy head huntsman Brünzli and his cat, the sore muscles, are told by the forest animals together with Marius from "Marius & the Hunting Band" in a lively musical theatre for families with children aged 5 and over. anda Events is now bringing the play, which was successfully performed in St. Gallen, to other stages in German-speaking Switzerland and presenting the cheeky story of tolerance, understanding and cohesion in a cheerful and colourful new production.

The musical mind behind the spectacle is no stranger to Swiss children's rooms: the musician, nature educator and kindergarten teacher Marius Tschirky is not only celebrating many successes with "Marius & the Hunting Band", but also his 20th anniversary. With albums such as "Worscht" or "Hirschschnauzdisco", the versatile children's band has sung, rumbled and rocked its way into the hearts of its young (and adult) audience. The figures, the Seichhörnli, the badger Adalbert, the Ojemireh, the Tofuchs, the woodpecker as well as the chief huntsman Brünzli and his sore muscles, are also good acquaintances for many children, as they appear again and again in songs and short films as well as in the anda Kids picture book by Marius & die Jagdkapelle.
