Rosa Riedl, The Ghost of Protection

ROSA RIEDL, THE GHOST OF PROTECTION

30.11. to 31.12., theatre, 6 to 12 years

Nasti's real name is Anastasia and she has a big problem: she is scared a lot and often. For example, she is afraid of being alone, of the dark, of dark cellars, of scary films and of dogs of all kinds. Her best friend, on the other hand, is never afraid and Nasti knows why: she has a guardian angel that she wears as a pendant on a gold chain around her neck. Nasti longs for such a guardian angel. It doesn't come, but a certain Rosa Riedl enters Nasti's life - a ‘guardian angel’ and Vienna's first working-class ghost. Despite her advanced age and her ghostly flat feet, Rosa Riedl tirelessly campaigns for justice and accompanies Nasti from then on. Of course, certain spooky occurrences do not remain hidden from her for long, but fortunately Rosa Riedl is popular with everyone after a brief scare. But then Rosa Riedl disappears in a mishap and Nasti has to overcome her fear and help Rosa Riedl.

In "ROSA RIEDL, THE GHOST OF PROTECTION", Christine Nöstlinger tells an endearing and humorous story about courage, friendship and the need to stand up for others.
