The Ruhr Area is Mine: A Musical Journey for the Whole Family
When children's eyes shine and familiar places suddenly look completely new, a special family experience begins in the Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche: The children's musical theater The Ruhr Area is Mine! invites you on November 14, 2026, to a musical journey through the history, present, and future of the Ruhr area.
Mountains, Pits, and Stories to Marvel
Why are there mountains, pits, and so many stories in the Ruhr area that are still palpable today? The play addresses these questions in a child-friendly manner and connects regional history with music, theater, and imaginative storytelling moments. Children will discover their homeland from a new perspective and experience that their own world is also part of a larger story.
Time Together with Music and Learning Fun
The family program brings generations together: children, parents, grandparents, and siblings experience the region together. The musical design creates a lively atmosphere where curiosity, amazement, and children's laughter have their place. This creates an age-appropriate learning experience that connects entertainment with cultural education.
A Family Experience with Regional Relevance
The focus is on questions of origin, belonging, and the future. The young visitors will learn that history does not only take place in books, but in streets, buildings, family stories, and the places in front of their own doorstep. This strengthens the connection to the region and opens up opportunities for conversation during the time after the performance.
