In "Märchenstückchen", four young people stumble through sixteen fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm. The play, developed as part of a NRW scholarship by the artist collective "Gedankensprung", engages equally with the brutality and absurdity of said fairy tales.

The minimalist stage design, consisting of a suitcase, is intended to potentially turn any place into a stage. The artists act as narrators, commentators, and alternately take on the emerging roles in quick succession.

Fast-paced and full of wit, the audience is entertained and simultaneously invited to question the fairy tales from today’s perspective: Why is the stepmother always fundamentally evil? Why are princes constantly in search of brides? And why must there always be an immediate marriage, even though the parties have only known each other for five minutes? Why does no one find it questionable that the prince sees Snow White's corpse and wants to purchase it? Why are almost always women the villains?

Musically, the whole performance is accompanied by multi-voiced folk songs sung a cappella, and original compositions by the playwright Judith "Meta" Loeffen.

Between dance interludes and heated discussions, the four professional actors repeatedly confront the problematic aspects of these stories, which are full of sexism, schadenfreude, brutality, and absurd nonsense – always with a wink.
