Pippo and Pelina - Two clowns on a journey of discovery
When two clowns want to discover the world, they need a big suitcase and a lot of courage. Because there are many a surprise that other clowns would run away from. Not so Pippo and Pelina, who always have an idea in their heads or in their suitcase, even in dangerous situations. The things the two of them experience constantly amaze them and often make them laugh, but sometimes also make them tremble and shiver. Before one of them completely despairs, the other quickly comes to the rescue. But if both are in trouble - what then? Fortunately, there are still the children....

Gotthold Ephraim Lessing: Nathan the Wise
Hugo v. Hofmannsthal described this famous Enlightenment drama by G.E. Lessing as "the wittiest comedy we have". Lessing called it "a dramatic poem".The play is a plea for religious tolerance and a challenge to intercultural dialogue between Christianity, Islam and Judaism. This appeal to reason and humanity has the lightness of a comedy with entanglements, coincidences, resolution of conflicts and a happy ending.
In the face of major global political crises and fundamentalist conflicts, it reads like a fairy tale today.This was already the case in Lessing's time, and it is not surprising that the play was banned in the Third Reich.reason, tolerance and humour as a statement against barbarism and hatred conjures up the possibility of confronting seemingly hopeless discord.
