With Bear and Tiger on a great journey to Panama
A mysterious scent, a box named Panama, and two curious friends: On Sunday, November 1, 2026, families will experience the loving stage adaptation of Oh, how beautiful is Panama by Janosch at the Munich Theater for Children. The story combines children's laughter, adventure, and shared time with a warm message about friendship, home, and the question of what makes us happy.
A journey full of wonder and adventure
The little bear and the little tiger live contentedly in their house by the river. When the bear finds a wonderfully banana-scented box, their imaginative journey to Panama begins. Along the way, the two meet a diligent mouse, a cow, a clever fox, a funny rabbit, and a hospitable hedgehog. Each encounter brings new impressions and invites children to listen closely, empathize, and discover the world with open eyes.
Child-friendly theater for little explorers
The production by Marianne Terplan is aimed at children aged 4 and over and tells the well-known Janosch story in an age-appropriate and understandable way. With acting, costumes, makeup, and set design, a imaginative experience space is created where curiosity, humor, and community are at the forefront. The learning experience remains playful: children discover how important friendship, trust, and a sense of home are for their own development.
Shared time that resonates
The performance lasts about 1 hour and 50 minutes, including intermission. This family experience is also suitable for younger children who are getting their first taste of theater. The familiar characters, the changing encounters, and the exciting search for Panama create opportunities for conversation for the whole family – even on the way home, one can discuss where one truly feels comfortable.
