Konrad is good at math but bad at writing essays. And now he has to write a text about the South Seas. Terrible! How good that Uncle Ringelhuth is very enterprising and that a singing, tap-dancing circus horse has just come along and is bold enough to arrange a local appointment: So off to the South Seas, first through the wardrobe to the land of milk and honey with its sedentary inhabitants, then to a society of knights with strength-measuring men, through a topsy-turvy world in which children educate their wayward parents, and past a fully automated city. The commissioned work for Theater Bremen is a homage to the great orchestral musicals in the style of "Hello, Dolly!" and "Mary Poppins" and to the author Erich Kästner, who almost a century ago created a visionary critique of a future that is our present.
