"Frederick the Mouse" - a show about childhood dreams and the courage to be yourself!

In a fast-paced, pragmatic world, little mouse Frederick seems… different. While others are stockpiling supplies for the winter, he gathers sunshine, colors, and words. It doesn't seem useful, it doesn't seem "productive" – but when the cold and silence descend on their hideout, his very dream becomes food for the soul.

Frederick is not just a dreamy mouse, but a mirror of the child in us – that child who dreamed, felt deeply, saw beauty in the smallest things and dared to be different. Our show tells Frederick's story from a sensitive and contemporary perspective, adding original moments, dialogue with the audience and thought-provoking questions:

• Who were we before we were told who we “should” be?
• What did we love to do, but forgot along the way?

Through puppetry, play, music and humor, the show invites children and adults on a journey of discovery. It is a show that offers not just a story, but an experience – one that reconnects us with our authentic selves and reminds us of how valuable it is to follow your dream, even if others don’t understand it.
