Schellen-Ursli

What it's about

“High up in the mountains, far away from here, there lives a little boy just like you.” These magical words open the Swiss children’s book classic by Selina Chönz and Alois Carigiet. Now “Schellen-Ursli” is conquering stages across German-speaking Switzerland as a colourful musical, bringing mountain magic, music and excitement to the whole family. Little Ursli lives with his family in the idyllic mountain village of Guarda in the Engadine. Every year in March, all the children eagerly await Chalandamarz: loud bells are meant to drive away winter and welcome spring. But it is Ursli who gets the smallest bell of all! Saddened by the teasing and laughter of the other children, he sheds bitter tears. Luckily, Ursli is not alone. His loyal friend, the little mouse Mür, stands bravely by his side. Together they make a bold decision: they want to fetch the large family bell from the family Maiensäss high above the village! Freezing cold, a raging snowstorm and slopes buried deep in snow test them – but Ursli and the little mouse Mür gather all their courage and fight their way forward step by step. Will they manage to overcome the storm? And can Ursli get back to the village in time with the heavier bell? The loving staging by Brigitt Maag and Paul Weilenmann (Karl’s kühne Gassenschau) has already delighted thousands of audience members. A heart-warming children’s musical about friendship, family, courage – and a great adventure in the mountains.
