Schellen-Ursli

Schellen-Ursli
A musical for young and old

"High up in the mountains, far from here, there lives a little boy like you." With these enchanting words, the Swiss children's book classic by Selina Chönz and Alois Carigiet begins. Now "Schellen-Ursli" is conquering the stages of German-speaking Switzerland as a colourful musical and brings mountain magic, music and heart palpitations for the whole family.

Little Ursli lives with his family in the idyllic mountain village of Guarda in the Engadine. Every year in March, all the children eagerly await the Chalandamarz: with loud bells ringing, winter is to be driven away and spring is to be welcomed. But Ursli, of all people, gets the smallest bell of all! Sad about the mockery and laughter of the other children, he sheds bitter tears. But fortunately, Ursli is not alone. His loyal friend, the little mouse Mür, courageously stands by his side. Together they make a bold decision: they want to get the big family bell out of the high-altitude family mountain pasture!

Icy cold, a raging snowstorm and snow-covered slopes put them to the test - but Ursli and the mouse Mür gather all their courage and fight their way forward step by step. Will they succeed in weathering the storm? And will Ursli manage to return to the village in time with the heavier bell?

The loving production by Brigitt Maag and Paul Weilenmann (Karl's kühne Gassenschau) has already thrilled thousands of spectators. A heartwarming children's musical about friendship, family, courage - and a great adventure in the mountains.
