“We are who we are. And that’s fine.” is the title of this German-language reading. Meet the legendary King Eric, who explains what makes a “real man”; let the enchanting Queen Vicky introduce you to a cute pair of rabbits; and listen to Radieschen the talking drag root vegetable, who has a surprise or two in store in their story about an unusual princess.

The three artists read from books that tell of love and friendship. They invite you into colourful worlds and show you what is possible if you hold on to your dreams – no matter what gender you are.  Can a little prince and a fox become friends? What even does friendship mean? What does a boyfriend or girlfriend look like? One thing is for sure: whether long or short hair, whether boys in dresses or girls in trousers, whether princesses with a mind of their own or romantic princes, whether blue, pink or rainbow-coloured: we are who we are. And that is how it should be.

 

A special experience for families with children who enjoy picture books and listening to stories.
