Herr Eichhorn and the first snow

A puppet theatre play for children aged 4 and older, based on the picture book by Sebastian Meschenmoser.

Who doesn't know the waiting for the first snow in winter?

"Winter is beautiful," the goat told Mr Eichhorn. "Snowflakes fall from the sky and everything turns white".

So Mr. Eichhorn decides to wait for the first snowflake this year. Not an easy task for a squirrel who is used to hibernating. Mr Squirrel has slept through every winter so far, but this time he has to stay awake so as not to miss the first snowflake.

"But winter takes its time …"

Together with the hedgehog and the bear, he embarks on an adventurous search for the first snowflake.
