Rudi the Racing Pig

Following the popular children's book by Uwe Timm, the Salzburg State Theatre brings "Rennschwein Rudi Rüssel" (Rudi Rüssel the Racing Pig) to the stage as a turbulent stage adventure. For the Fröhlich family, chaos begins when they win a pig in a raffle: Rudi Rüssel barely fits in their city apartment, sneaks bites of the cake, and even manages to annoy their landlord. Yet this lively pig even chases off a burglar and proves to be a gifted runner – can it defeat the long-time champion Klabautermann?

The stage adaptation by Johannes Kaetzler and Gerhard Seidel, with lyrics by Anna Lukasser-Weitlaner and music by Katrin Schweiger, is directed by Christiane Silberhumer as a fast-paced theatrical delight. With humorous scenes, a lovingly designed set, and musical highlights, the story becomes an entertaining experience for the whole family. A play about rules, togetherness, and the unexpected talents of a pig – suitable for ages five and up.
