history

The actor of the GRIPS theater Holger Franke founded the socially committed realistic children's theater Rote Grütze in 1972 with others. Co-founders and actors were: Helma Fehrmann (1944–2010), Dagmar Dorsten, Günter Brombacher (1950–2012), Reinhold Schäfer and Alfred Cybulska.

The first project in 1973 was the educational play . You don't talk about it . To date (as of 2006) the play has been shown in over 40 productions at home and abroad, including in Japan , Canada and Kenya .

This was followed in 1976 by another educational piece entitled What does love mean here? The story of Paul and Paula. The piece was awarded the Brothers Grimm Prize of the State of Berlin in 1977 . As early as 1978, the 2½ hour long film was released from recordings from several days of guest performance in a Schwabing circus tent "with an exuberant audience". According to Spiegel from November 1978, 80,000 children and 40,000 adults have already seen the play. It sometimes met with criticism from decision-makers. The "Rote Grütze" was banned from schools in the state by means of a "circular" in 1976 by the Minister of Culture of North Rhine-Westphalia, Jürgen Girgensohn . In 1978 the piece was also released as a mono LP (subtitle: A game about love and sexuality / For people in and after puberty; Label Rotkehlchen, Rotbuch Verlag , "Mit Plakat!") And in 1980 as a book. To date it has been staged more than 100 times at home and abroad. Revised in 2002 by Holger Franke. The Theaterhaus Stuttgart premiered the play on October 4, 1989 and, from the perspective of 2013, speaks of its most successful production: 7th new version, around 1,000 performances, attended by almost 250,000 young people and adults.

This was followed by other plays that dealt with current topics such as drugs ( Mensch I love you , 1980), football ( someone like me - or how Günter Netzer strokes the ball , 1986) or violence ( violence in games , 1987). From 1996 to 2001 the game and production activities were inactive. Then the Rote Grütze Theater was re-founded by Holger Franke and Ricky Strohecker with various venues in Berlin , Frankfurt (Oder) and Bonn .
