Description

Two dangerous robbers, the most dangerous ones ever, Zora and Beule, spread fear and terror throughout the Wild West. Surprisingly, the timid cowboy, who flinches at the slightest noise, is assigned the task of apprehending them.

In our play, a cowboy who doesn’t fit the typical image of the Wild West experiences tiny little adventures. He must cross a raging river and even overpower dangerous bank robbers. How he finds his courage and manages to accomplish these tasks can be witnessed firsthand on stage.

»The Timid Cowboy« is a dance-theater piece with elements of acting for a young audience and those young at heart, starting from the age of 5. Through music, dance, and humorous scenes it shows that even small steps can be important. A little bit of courage is needed in the beginning to reach happiness in the end.
