A magical interactive theater full of longing, sound, and ocean magic
At the Galli Theater in the Amalienpassage, the curtain rises on August 30, 2026, for The Little Mermaid as a lively interactive theater for the whole family. The fairy tale by Johannes Galli tells the story of a young mermaid who follows her longing, sacrifices her voice, and dives into a world between love, loss, and transformation. On stage, this creates a theatrical experience that seeks closeness instead of distance and draws both children and adults into the allure of the story.

When longing becomes stage action
The dramaturgy relies on clear images, strong emotions, and immediate contact with the audience. The interactive theater transforms the well-known fairy tale into a breathing play, where reaction and participation carry the evening. The little mermaid experiences the sea not as a backdrop but as a living space full of temptation and danger. This immediacy gives the performance that theatrical atmosphere which young viewers will remember for a long time.

A family evening with a sense of poetry
The staging thrives on the art of transformation in play, on musical moments, and the focus on a story that is driven by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale motif of self-assertion and longing for another world. In Munich, the Galli Theater presents itself as a place of intimacy with the audience, warm, cozy, and consciously small-scale. This intimacy fits ideally with a fairy tale that thrives on quiet inner movements. ([galli-muenchen.de](https://galli-muenchen.de/ueber-uns/kontakt-und-anfahrt/))
