When Pippi Langstrumpf moves into the abandoned Villa Villekulla, a whirlwind enters the lives of Annika and Tommy. Along with her monkey Mr Nilsson and her horse Little Old Man, Pippi turns the children’s lives upside down. With her charm and humour, the remarkable pirate’s daughter makes fools of anyone who tries to keep her in check, whether they are policemen, bandits or concerned neighbours – because she’s the strongest girl in the world!

After a quarter of a century, Brandner Kaspar returns to the Residenztheater - and how! Based on Franz von Kobell's dialect tale, Franz Xaver Kroetz tells the story of the stubborn Bavarian who won't even bow to death in the flesh, the Boanlkramer, in a very honest and touching, yet completely unsentimental and humorous way. Günther Maria Halmer also returns to the Residenztheater as Kaspar Brandner and, together with Munich film, theatre and opera director Philipp Stölzl, they will bring the «Gschichtn vom Brandner Kaspar» to the stage as a «big picture book, because the play is of course a fairy tale».
