Fourteen years ago, we had our very first Berlin International Youth Theatre production: Tale of the Rebel Waves told  the adventures of a magical ship crewed by feisty pirate maids. This  June, we will visit that place again to find out how it all began.

It all starts with the unexpected acquisition of an enchanted ship;  two young women quickly assemble a motley crew and set off in search of a  treasure as precious as it is deadly. This sparkling rainbow of  talented young actors between the ages of 14 and 19 play a colorful  collection of sailors, thieves, clerks, gamblers, nuns and monsters,  some friendly and some not so much. With sea shanties, stunning costumes  and terrifying effects, we are swept away to a never-never land where  dark fears and bright hopes sail together in a sea of dreams. This is,  of course, a place we remember from long ago, but this time it‘s not  Peter Pan who‘s having all the fun.

On Sunday June 16, the audience is encouraged to dress up in their favorite pirate gear for a costume contest!
