A magical family piece in the theater tent of Regensburg
With JANKO – a musical fairy tale, COMOEDIA MUNDI invites you to a poetic stage experience on May 10, 2026, that unfolds between narrative theater, music, and finely drawn fairy tale worlds. The performance in the theater tent at Rockzipfel is aimed at children aged 6 and up and combines playful lightness with that unmistakable closeness for which this ensemble has stood for decades.

A fairy tale that comes to life on stage
The story begins simply and touchingly: A woodcarver and his wife wish for a child. From this wish grows Janko, a puppet that becomes alive and embodies the longing for belonging, adventure, and courage. COMEDIA MUNDI tells and sings the story with Loes Snijders at the piano, creating a dense theatrical atmosphere that combines acting artistry, music, and narration.

Musical poetry instead of loud effects
The ensemble relies on precise dramaturgy, clear images, and an intimate stage aesthetic. The mobile venue is what makes it appealing: The audience sits close to the action, hears every nuance, and experiences light mood, acoustics, and movement without distance. This creates that direct, vibrant stage experience that COMOEDIA MUNDI has shaped as a touring theater since 1983. ([comoedia-mundi.de](https://www.comoedia-mundi.de/))
A children's play with heart, danger, and hope
JANKO gently introduces a world where even a dragon has its place. The story combines safety and excitement, fantasy and emotional authenticity. This is precisely the strength of this production: It takes young audiences seriously while simultaneously opening adults' eyes to the power of fairy tales as a theatrical form.
