In the short break you can draw your own story about immigration
or what you think why people emigrate.
See the puppet play: What would you have done?
In 1938 in Bonn, Germany, a scientist decides to immigrate to South
America because he does not want to participate in Hitler's war.
After a long journey by ship he arrives in Peru. In the fear of
being expelled from the country, he decides to live in mountains
with the Quechua Indians like being one of them and learns their
language. After the war he is uncertain whether he should return
to his native country. Not everybody likes him there. Some people
think he ran away from a war while they had difficult times. On
the other hand, exile has made a different man of the scientist.
He wants to help people to better understand each other and to live
together in peace tolerating each other's differences. This is what
the Quechuas told him about life!
Come and see a play full of suspense...
