This musical makes our hearts beat faster! "Himmel und Kölle" takes the big and small peculiarities of our city with a lot of wit and charm. That's what it's about: Pastor Elmar has been transferred from the provinces to Cologne and experiences a real culture shock between jecken Kölner:innen, bride Kathy and a lot of Kölsch. For all Cologne residents and those who have given their hearts to our cathedral city, the show is an absolute must-see.

In this fantastic production, the four animals - donkey, dog, cat and rooster - are underdogs, outcasts and individualists who want to make music as an unbeatable team and become famous. Composer Attila Kadri Şendil uses traditional Turkish instruments and a multilingual slang spoken by the animals to bring a colorful mix to the play, which not only deals with obstacles and disputes, but also with overcoming fears and the power of friendship.
