Als Hitler das rosa Kaninchen stahl

Berlin, 1933. The nine-year-old Anna’s world collapses when her father must suddenly flee and the family leaves Germany from one day to the next. She leaves behind not just her home – she also leaves her beloved stuffed pink rabbit. On their flight through Switzerland and France to London, Anna learns what it means to be a stranger, and yet have to courageously keep moving on. She braves fear and loss with curiosity, humour and a child’s imagination. But for how long can we leave everything behind, without losing ourselves?

The Gärtnerplatztheater presents Judith Kerr’s world-famous autobiographical novel for the first time as a musical. Thomas Zaufke and Henry Mason have transformed the story of exile, identity and new beginnings into musical theatre for every generation here. A moving plea for humanity, told from a child’s perspective – evocative, timeless and alarmingly relevant today.
