Exciting program on climate, culture and future issues

Mukkekukke: Comics to music - 19.5., 4 p.m.

Reading or singing aloud? Or read and listen at the same time? Everything is possible with this book! From the infinite universe of music, the comic book Mukkekukke presents a wonderfully wild mixture of rhythmic new discoveries and rediscoveries: from 300-year-old baroque music that tells of frogs without words, to modern pop songs about rain, elephants or lifeguards. As diverse as the music is, all the pieces have something in common - they tell stories!

The two Frankfurt artists Anke Kuhl and Moni Port have invited sixteen renowned comic and children's book artists, from Axel Scheffler to Nadia Budde, to transform German-language songs and pieces of music into comics. "Mukkekukke. Comics zu Musik" (Reprodukt, 2024) is a rousing visual playlist, a delightfully exuberant showcase of current comic art, honored as one of the "Poetry Recommendations for Children 2025" by the German Academy for Language and Poetry, among others. A book that tickles all the senses.

In Offenbach, the two read and draw for families and children aged 7 and over. And you can and should definitely tap your feet and sing along.

Admission

Start at 4 pm. Free admission.
