The Witch Game
for children from 10 and up
Synopsis
Around 1660. The »wild« girl Aranxa is accused of having set fire to a barn in the village. Since the penalty for arson is death, Aranxa flees to the woods, where she bumps into the well-behaved girl Sophie. The two get to know each other closer and learn to overcome their prejudices. Mutually they try to stem the tide of events that follow in the village.
THE WITCHGAME was commissioned by Theater Heidelberg, in cooperation with Pädagogische Hochschule Heidelberg. The play is based on the academic research of Prof. Hartwig Weber on child witches in the Early Modern Period.
