Schedule
Otfried Preußler: Krabat in the Black Mill
Opening date: 2024.03.02.
165 minutes with 1 intermission
The beginning of our story is simple, simple as young Krabat's past was simple. It was, until a Black Mill appeared to him in a dream, complete with black crows and a one-eyed Master of Black Magic. Krabat follows his dream, enters the mill, shakes hands with the Master, but this simple handshake seals his fate, he can never leave the Black Mill again. Simplicity is replaced by mysterious, inexplicable events. Slowly, it becomes clear that the Mill is a Black School, and that the students are being given special abilities in return for their work. Krabat and his friends, the apprentices, experience the limits of their abilities and the price they must pay. Krabat rebels and fights for freedom, but he is powerless against his Master. Powerless, unless he is helped by the mysterious, pure of heart cantor girl, whose name must never be spoken - lest the Master learn of it - who must enter the Black Mill for the final rehearsal, so that Krabat can get out. Getting in is easy, but getting out is either neither of them, or only together.
