Der furiose Küchenzirkus - Kindertheater Coq Au Vin

The Wild Kitchen Circus 👨‍🍳🎪

🏆 Coq Au Vin won first prize 🥇 at the 15th Children’s Theater Festival in 2019 with this play at the Amberg City Theater.

Two chefs invite you to the table—and there’s apple pie! 🥧 With imagination and plenty of humor, the two create their very own kitchen world full of charm, magic, and surprises.

As they stir the batter, not only do apples fly across the stage, but so do their acrobatic stunts: daring feats, dance-like choreography, and a healthy dose of megalomania clash with real kitchen disasters. Because: Nothing goes as planned—and that’s exactly what makes the play so hilarious.

Luckily, the children are there: They actively feed the quirky kitchen robot with apples, cheer on the clowns, and help out when things get dicey. Together, they cook, laugh, and work their magic —until, by the end, the excitement is so great that the audience loudly demands an encore.

A play about failure, togetherness, and the joy of doing—with an extra dose of circus, excitement, and humor.🎪👏😂

For children ages 3 to 11

(but honestly: everyone from 3 to 93 is warmly invited!)

Running time: approx. 50 minutes

… one of the few children’s theater productions where adults are just as thrilled as the kids!”

IVZ Ibbenbüren
“The young visitors especially had a great time at the fun show by the children’s theater ‘Coq au vin’ at the community center. To keep the audience entertained until the very end in these midsummer temperatures, it takes successful audience interaction that culminates in a daring and entertaining performance involving the audience.”
