UFO - No wish is indifferent
Children's musical of the music school Bocholt Isselburg
On Friday, 12 May 2023, at 4 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. and Saturday, 13 May 2023, at 2 p.m. and 5 p.m., around 50 musical children from the Bocholt-Isselburg Music School, together with the Musical Choir of the Maria Montessori School, will present the musical "UFO-no wish is too small" in the Euregiohalle (Unter den Eichen) in Bocholt. Tickets cost 7 euros.
In the year 2164, five friends go on a weekend trip to the space station "Overfly 2". There, the young space tourists are offered an unusual programme: "Space Dance", "Space Bungee", "Space's Next Top Model".
A special attraction: small space scooters that can be rented for short trips into space. On the ride in one of these mini spaceships, they encounter a mysterious UFO. They manage to trick the scooter's autopilot. Driven by curiosity and a thirst for adventure, they pursue the UFO, getting further and further away from the space station. A dreamlike trip that soon turns into a nightmare.
"UFO - Kein Wunsch ist schnuppe" is a turbulent play about adventure and longing for the unknown, about shooting stars and wishes, loneliness and sadness, joy and love - a trip through the cosmos of human emotions. This is matched by rousing "spacey" music with pop and jazz touches by musical author Gerhard A. Meyer.
Under the direction of music school teacher Stefanie Bergmann and Luanda Schillings, more than 50 children aged 5 to 17 have been rehearsing their roles and songs every week for almost a year. The "JeKits Musical Choir" of the Maria Montessori School in Bocholt is also taking part again. But there will not only be singing and acting, various dances have also been rehearsed together with dance trainer Floralie Reiff.
