Momo in Kinopolis: When time becomes visible on stage
A girl who can listen stands up to the gray gentlemen: On December 4, 2026, Michael Ende's timeless tale Momo celebrates its premiere in an extraordinary theater production at Kinopolis Landshut. The KlimaBühne of the Landshut Environmental Fair, KINOPOLIS, and Bühne Landshut combine acting, cinema, and animation into a special stage experience for adults, teenagers, and families from ten years old.
A modern fairy tale about lost time
Momo lives as an orphan in the ruins of an amphitheater. Her special gift is not magic but attentive listening. Only through this do people return to their own thoughts and inner peace. When the gray gentlemen appear, a battle begins against a world where time is saved, calculated, and taken away from people.
Michael Ende's material unfolds its power from the connection of fantasy and social observation. Friendship, deceleration, conscious living, and the importance of human closeness are at the center of the drama. The stage adaptation turns this into an touching theater evening with clear relevance.
The cinema screen becomes the stage background
Director Thomas Ecker relocates the production to an unusual venue. In cinema 4 of Kinopolis, the large screen is part of the stage art: films and animations expand the space, create changing visual worlds, and consciously blur the boundary between theater and cinema.
The acting skills of the participants meet an audiovisual design that not only illustrates the atmosphere but also contributes dramatically. Lighting moods, projections, and the acoustics of the cinema hall create a special theater atmosphere, in which the amphitheater, the city of the gray gentlemen, and the fantastic world of Master Hora can be newly imagined.
Co-production with Landshut stage talents
On stage, members of Theater Landshut Berg, Theater Konrad, Theater Nikola Landshut, Bühne links der Bina, and MuT – Musik und Tun collaborate. This regional cooperation gives the production a special character: different stage experiences come together for a common performance.
The premiere opens eight performances in December 2026. In addition to evening dates, afternoon shows are also on the schedule for Sundays. Kinopolis offers a total of 225 seats for the gala and premiere in cinema 4.
A theater evening for multiple generations
Momo is aimed at an audience aged ten and older, appealing to children, teenagers, and adults alike. Younger viewers discover a fantastic story with a turtle, gray gentlemen, and mysterious time worlds. Adults encounter material that brings the hustle and bustle of everyday life, the value of listening, and the question of living consciously to the forefront.
The audience reaction arises from the immediate interplay of narrative, acting, projection, and cinema space. The outcome promises a sensory stage experience that not only entertains but continues to resonate after the final image.
Conclusion: Time for an extraordinary stage experience
The premiere of Momo at Kinopolis Landshut combines literary classics, regional theater work, and modern projection technology. Those who want to experience Michael Ende's fairy tale live will find a production with a special spatial concept, committed acting talent, and a message of remarkable present-day relevance. Secure your ticket and witness how theater pauses time for an evening.
