Children's Songs from Hell – A Musical Cabaret with Caroline Athanasiadis and Kl
A sharp-tongued cabaret about toxic children's songs and fairy tales. Caroline Athanasiadis and Klaus Oppitz deconstruct classics with humor and music—provocative, funny, and thought-provoking.
Caroline Athanasiadis and Klaus Oppitz take a closer look at classic children's songs, fairy tales, and children's books in their musical cabaret – exposing their often problematic messages. Why does Little Hans return to his mother? What does the Rainbow Fish reveal about societal pressure to conform? And why is Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother treated with wine? With sharp wit and musical accompaniment, the two artists deconstruct familiar narratives and question how these shape our thinking. They also address current issues such as burnout, economic crisis, or divorce – and consider what children's literature might look like if it avoided psychological harm. An entertaining and thought-provoking program for adults who wish to rethink children's culture – featuring xylophone and a touch of horror cabaret.
