Jandl for children? Both adults and children enjoy the fun of puns and word plays. Gotthart Kuppel has brought together poems by Ernst Jandl to form scenes in the life of a couple. A man and a woman, both lonely, get to know one another, regard one another, love one another, organize themselves, have tea and decorate their flat. Then a yellow dog enters the scene:
zauber die haft ganz
zauber die haft
delight-a-full really
delight-a-full
 Jandl's texts are not theater plays in the traditional sense. They remain what they are: Poetry. They describe conditions, instances, moments of excitement. And because it is Jandl, they escape the grasp of every day "talk" and "understanding"; they seem to enter the actors differently and to speak through them. The texts expound their own dynamic, leave the common grammar, the words are twisted and loose themselves in sounds and syllables. So, it is Jandl for children! Which is traditional too.
