Der Miesepups
MARGARETA FEREK-PETRIĆ

“Der Miesepups” is based on the same-named book by Kirsten Fuchs and Cindy Schmid (illustrations). Margareta Ferek-Petrić Musiktheater tells of the sounds of the Mooswald forest, leads into the dreams of Miesepups, and shows us how wonderful it is to finally find a friend.

Miesepups, a grumpy creature, lives in a tree hollow in the Mooswald. He never gets up before noon nor does he want to see any of the other animals in the neighborhood. He is so grumpy that he even slams the door in the cuckoo's face. But a cuckoo is not so easily shaken off. Can it lure Miesepups out of his shell?
