Der himmlische Zirkus - Kindertheater Coq Au Vin

Two Angels and a Heavenly Mess 😇🎪

🏆 In 2025, Coq Au Vin took second place with this play at the 20th Amberg Children’s Theater Festival—even though only the winners from previous years were participating!

Two angels rush down from heaven at full speed and come crashing down to Earth 🌍—crash landing included! To get back into the good graces of “the powers that be,” they do everything they can to enchant people with graceful acrobatics, witty ideas, and plenty of charm.

But even angels aren’t immune to envy and resentment—and so a heavenly-comical story unfolds, full of little rivalries, big emotions, and an important lesson:

“We can only rise together—help one another, do good!” 👼

The play has no religious references whatsoever —it’s about humanity, togetherness, and theatrical fun for the whole family.

The play is a real hit with elementary schools and daycare centers!

For children ages 3 to 11
Running time: Approx. 50 minutes
 

– Press Reviews –

Schwäbische Zeitung
“It’snot a traditional circus, nor is it purely a theater performance. The unique blend of the two is the secret to its success!…It was clear that the actors were having a great time, which kept both the children and the actors laughing right up until the end. Original costumes, a dash of acrobatics, a spoonful of clowning—and the audience is enchanted.”

Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung
“Time and again, the children were clearly thrilled.”

Deggendorfer Zeitung
“On Carnival Friday, over 300 children at Theodor Eckert Elementary School couldn’t stop marveling and cheering. With absolutely divine dedication, the two performers, Thomas Endel and Sarah Lindermayer, give audiences of all ages the opportunity to immerse themselves in a fantastical world that captivates and inspires, and that gives the children plenty of room for euphoric applause like no other theater does. “Coq Au Vin is one of the few children’s theaters where adults are just as enthusiastic as the children,” say delighted members of the Friends of the School Association and the Parent Advisory Board.”
