With “Heidi,” Swiss author Johanna Spyri (who would have celebrated her 200th birthday in 2027) created one of the world’s most famous children’s books, which continues to shape the romantic image of the Alpine idyll to this day. Together with the team from the LebensGroß Theater Academy, Georg Schütky brings this heartwarming tale of the longing for a place in the world, for home, and for a free, self-determined life to life on the stage of Next Liberty.
