Ben liebt Anna - Die musikalische Geschichte einer ersten Liebe
Ben Loves Anna
The musical story of a first love
Based on the novel by Peter Härtling | For ages 8 and up
For Ben and his friends, the school routine offers an unusual experience when "the New Girl" joins their class. Her name is Anna, and she and her family have moved here from Poland. Anna speaks differently, looks different, and seemingly behaves differently from everyone else.
Her new classmates greet her with mixed feelings - a mixture of rejection and curiosity. Ben feels the same way. On one hand, he is drawn to Anna, but on the other hand, he also finds some things about her strange. When she is teased by his friends, Ben defends her. And thus, it is said: "Ben loves Anna." At first, he resists because he is embarrassed, but somehow it is true. It's clear: Being in love is beautiful, but also difficult. There's excitement, feeling hurt, jealousy, arguments with friends, and the big fear of being laughed at.
The first love, dealing with social differences, and having the courage to stand by one's own feelings are the main themes of this production.
