Mowgli’s carefree, colorful life in the jungle comes to an abrupt end. And not even his family—a bear, the eccentric mentor Baloo; a panther, the wise protector Bagheera; and a wolf, the loyal Gray Brother—can do anything against the hateful tiger Shere Khan, who has plotted against Mowgli. So Mowgli suddenly finds herself all alone between two worlds: between being an animal and being human—caught in the struggle between the laws of nature and the call of the heart.

Will Mowgli survive this? Will she find a home? And is there perhaps a balance that holds a place for everyone?

An adventurous comedy by Niklas Luft with music by Jürgen Beuth. Featuring the ensemble of the Sommertheater im Dschungel.
