Max – The Snorkeling Monster

"Max – The Snorkel Monster" is a touching family play for ages 5 and up by Beat Fäh. Max, an unusual snorkel monster with permanently attached fins, emerges from the water and begins his journey into the school of life. There, he is teased by classmates and feels misunderstood by adults, rules, and performance pressure. However, he meets the eccentric school janitor, who listens to old schlager music on her portable radio, climbs curtains acrobatically, and, like Max, tries to "do everything right." The two outsiders find each other and develop a special friendship.

At the heart of the story is the desire for recognition, freedom, and self-determination—contrasted with societal expectations and a lack of genuine connection. The imaginative tale comes to life through acting, acrobatics, dance, and music from the portable radio. The cast includes Pamina Milewska and Raphael Steiner, directed by Reinhold Tritscher. The costumes are designed by Viktoria Semperboni.
