Quiet and "butterfly-music-tastic"

A visit to Rigo and Rosa: courage, music and a mouse meet in a leopard's enclosure - and almost nothing becomes poetry for a lifetime.

The little plant of friendship is watered again and again. It is sung about and watered almost too often. The perspective is exciting: the little mouse seems weak, but she has all the freedom she needs and can slip in and out of anywhere; Rigo, on the other hand, seems strong, but can't get out of his cage. But his little grey friend also takes the weight off this realisation in an instant.

At one point, it becomes very quiet. The animal keeper says that the Arctic fox in the neighbouring cage has died. "From what?" Gustavo, who is unfortunately already far too familiar with the subject of death for an almost 7-year-old, immediately wants to know. Nobody knows. But there is intense mourning on stage - and Gustavo mourns with them. In the end, it is Rosa who takes the first step - out of the silence and back into life.

On the way out, Gustavo says that he still prefers Rigo to the cheeky mouse. "Because she farted so loudly that it sounded like thunder." For this honest and direct assessment, the critic was given a plate of spaghetti afterwards.
