Freilichttheater Tredeschin – Hans im Glück

Silly Hans trades gold for animals - and loses everything in the process. But what looks like bad luck turns out to be good luck for him: in the end, he gains what he is really looking for - lightness, carefreeness and contentment. A humorous and profound fairy tale.

Hans acquires animals in exchange and believes that this will make his life easier. He does not realize how he is being deceived and lied to. He falls off his horse, is kicked by the cow, the pig is supposedly stolen and the goose is only worth an old whetstone. In the end, he is mocked by a child: "Silly Hans, you can't grind, you can't milk, you don't know anything about riding. This morning you had a lump of gold and now you've lost the stone too and you've got nothing." But this nothing turns out to be good luck for him. Now he has exactly what he has always wanted: Lightness, carefreeness and personal happiness.
