Family Introduction at 3.45 pm
Ulf has a Tyrannosaurus Rex, a tadpole in a jar, two euros, four golf balls, a friend and a grandpa. A grandpa is great! But it's unfair that his best friend Berra doesn't have one. So the two boys decide: "We'll find one"! But where do lots of grandpas and grandmas run around? Sure, in the old people's home. So Berra and Ulf set off and meet Nils, a real grandpa. A grandpa who listens to pop songs - "Can you whistle, Johanna ..." With him, Berra can finally build kites, celebrate birthdays, steal cherries and learn to whistle. But how much time do they have left together?
With tango, car horns, a cactus as a percussion instrument and an aria à la Handel, Gordon Kampe's children's opera tells of a cross-generational friendship in an onomatopoeic and melancholy-humorous way, and of the fact that growing older and saying goodbye is part of life.
