On Saturday 29 April at 3.30 pm (admission from 3 pm), interested children aged 8 and over and adults are invited to an entertaining afternoon of theatre in the TIETZ event hall (3rd floor). The Berlin actress Barbara Geiger will be a guest with her theatre "Fräulein Brehms Tierleben" and in her 90-minute play "Canis lupus - Der Wolf" she will present the topic of wolves in Germany in a playful way. The event is organised by the Museum für Naturkunde Chemnitz together with the "Young Nature Guards" project of BUND Chemnitz.

Admission is free of charge. As the number of participants is limited, please register by e-mail at info(at)bund-chemnitz.de or by telephone on 0371 367 4394.

Where exactly and how do wolves live in Germany? What is the story behind the headlines accusing wolves of being bloodthirsty? The protagonist "Fräulein Brehm", played by Barbara Geiger, and her curators present thoroughly researched and polished scientific findings. They present wolfish deer recipes and report on the annual European Championships in long-distance landscape canid running. She also explains how we, and shepherds in particular, can adapt to these new neighbours so that wolves not only don't eat sheep, but actually protect them.

The theatre "Fräulein Brehms Tierleben" is considered to be the only theatre in the world for endangered native animal species. The stage adventure combines tangible science, practical field research and deep insights into animal relationships into a theatrical whole and arouses curiosity about the wild animal world of Europe.
