Starcatcher

a musical fairytale based on a Brothers Grimm Story.

Starcatcher brings to life a beloved Grimm Brothers‘ fairy tale with a vibrant visual experience and a magical musical performance. The story follows a kind-hearted space fairy who embarks on a mission to Earth, leaving behind her home planet and her beloved sister. Disguised as a poor human child, she ventures into the world, giving away her few possessions to those in need. Accompanied by a wise lark, she navigates her journey with compassion and bravery. When the poor girl has nothing left to give, something miraculous happens: Stars fall from the sky as silver coins into her beautiful new dress. With these coins, she builds a magnificent house with a foundation made of stardust — the material we are all made of. This home becomes a haven where everyone is welcome to celebrate life in all its diversity and to approach the world with love and kindness.
