Theater Antrepriza "Steppke und Karlson" (de) 17 May 2026

The story is about Malysh (who really wanted a dog) and his friend, Carlson, who lives on the roof.
 

Malysh is a favorite and very spoiled, but that day everything went topsy-turvy. Offended by the whole world, Malysh goes to his room. He was standing by the window when suddenly a small plump man with a propeller on his back and a button on his stomach flew past. This is how Malysh met Carlson, who lives on the roof. The kid immediately learned from his own experience that Carlson is "the best in the world” in everything, and most importantly, the best playmate in the world. 

A few days later, Carlson flies in again and involves Malysh in new games - and even managed to visit Carlson in his house on the roof.

"If people knew how nice it was to walk on rooftops, they would have stopped walking on the streets a long time ago.”

And at the end of the performance, Carlson hands out bells to the children and says -

"Oh, you, always busy adults. Listen, do you remember that in your childhood you also had such a bell, and I flew to you? Open your windows wide at home today so that I can fly into the house of each of you. And I ask you, please, call, call, call…
