MOMO in Nußdorf: Time works wonders, children play – a family stage experience
On Sunday, November 16, 2025, the Young Stage 'Simply Mia' of the Förderverein Sondermoning invites you to Michael Ende's MOMO at the Nußdorf community center. A cross-generational stage experience: young performers joyfully tell the timeless story of the value of lived time.
The Story: When Grey Gentlemen Steal Time
With poetic clarity, the narrative unfolds: Momo, the girl with the open ear, lives on the outskirts of the city. When grey gentlemen entice people to save time, the atmosphere shifts – haste replaces warmth. Momo, Cassiopeia, and Master Hora confront this chaos. The piece shows why listening transforms and friendship endures.
Dramaturgy and Stage Art: Close to Ende's Idea
The stage adaptation by Vita Huber has convinced many: concise scenes, clear character guidance, striking images – ideal for a focused theater experience. In Nußdorf, this creates a vibrant production that makes theater atmosphere immediately tangible: concentrated acting, clear transitions, child-friendly tension.
Sensorial Impressions: Light, Rhythm, Ensemble Spirit
Warm lighting moods contrast with the cool tones of the grey world; rhythmic accents intensify the pulse of the scenes. Costume details sharply outline characters, and the stage design establishes distinctive locations with few props. This results in a dense audience reaction: wonder, laughter, quiet resonance – a heartfelt family experience.
Theatrical Historical Context
For decades, MOMO has been part of the repertoire of German-speaking stages. Stage adaptations based on Michael Ende – often following Vita Huber – emphasize themes such as empathy, time culture, and civil courage. Numerous productions operate with 90-minute tension arcs without intermission, appealing to both children and adults.
Conclusion
For those wishing to take a break from everyday life, this is an emotional storytelling theater experience: focused, warm-hearted, with clear images. MOMO in Nußdorf promises a strong family event – come, watch, feel.
