Comedy based on Michael Bully Herbig
Every summer, a folk play is performed on the Waldbühne. A large ensemble, consisting of enthusiastic amateurs and professional theater professionals, plays on the mountain. After successful performances of Gotthelf, Simon Gfeller and world literature in recent years, this year we are devoting ourselves to a fast-paced comedy by Michael Bully Herbig, who became famous with films such as "Der Schuh des Manitu" and "(T)Raumschiff Surprise".
About the piece "Beindlichrämer"
The Beindlichrämer is supposed to fetch little Max, but falls in love with his mother Leni. Quite confused - he has never felt love before - he leaves little Max on earth and swindles the cheat and drunk Elise into paradise instead. If his trick is not yet noticed up there, it becomes difficult down below. The devil immediately recognizes his opportunity and seduces the Beindlichrämer with the prospect of a normal life on earth. In return, he is no longer allowed to transport anyone to the afterlife.
