DEAR VISITORS,


some say salt makes you thirsty, others say pepper makes it spicy. We want to make you thirsty for our well-flavoured program. Puppet and figure theatre are our favourite dish.


Having fun is the most important thing when it comes to deal with stories and different material.

This forms the basis for our productions, which are played in our own theatre or on tour all over Europe.


Our plays deal with emancipatory topics, always trying to sample new forms of playing.

They show life the way it is, the way one dreams it and the way it could not get any better.

For adults and grownups:

Theater Comic “Du schon wieder“


How does a comic strip become a play? Is it possible to perform a comic strip? Theater Salz + Pfeffer connect these seemingly contradicting types of entertainment to create a spectacular and rapid show about the challenging friendship of two different characters, Rocki and Fredo.



This play is characterised by few words

and many images and can be played both in English or German

Unfortunately, we sometimes miss to uptdate our tour dates on a regular basis,

so don’t hesitate to contact us for further information. Enjoy browsing our website!

REPERTOIRE:

A Crime - Agatha Christie: The Mousetrap

Not only is The Mousetrap one of Agatha Christie’s most famous plays. It also shows the most constancy. No other of her plays has been played for so long without interruption. Now Theater Salz+Pfeffer created its own version of it and shows that there is still room for new interpretations. 
The two elderly ladies Margaret and Rosemarie on the radio hear from a mysterious murder case. With the corpse the police also found a hint by the murderer in which he reveals where he plans to strike next: The small country-side pension Monkswell-Manor is supposed to be the location for his next cruelty. At the same time a potpourri of different people arrives at Monkswell, together with a strong snow storm. Soon the group is snowbound and isolated from the outside world. Bad enough one would think, but then the guests find out that the murderer is already among them. The assumed idyll turns into a nightmarish atmosphere of fear and distrust.

Luckily enough Margaret and Rosemary love to clear up murder cases and immediately start investigating. Although they do not feel like leaving their sofa for doing so, their unusual and partly ludicrous methods bring them closer and closer to clearing the case. Will the two ladies succeed in preventing the murderer from striking again? 

The play in the Salz+Pfeffer version gains its distinctiveness through using different levels and methods of narrative. The part of the plot taking place in Monkswell-Manor is narrated trough puppets, whereas Margaret and Rosemary are embodied by “human” actors. However, that is not the only switch within the play. The audience will also experience a constant change between English and German.
