A child is made in a seesaw and you do not need any diplomas for parenting. Parents do something: they imitate their own fathers, mothers and feeds or do their best not to do that.

But what ends up from the rights of the child? And what do they mean for our duties as a parent?

In parent pardon theater maker Minou Bosua investigates these pressing questions about parenthood and upbringing. With a glowing mix of cabaret, opera, music and documentary, a theatrical lawsuit for adults is created in which the child's voice is literally heard. During the performance, a different children's ensemble from the region always plays a role.

The libretto of this humorous "folk opera" is based on the lifelike experiences of children's judges, young people and parents. With new music from composers Sinem Altan and Robbert Klein.

parent pardon is the third part of the theater crap of theater company Minoux. After the comic and moving first two parts, Mother is not allowed to die and not the fathers , it is now time to give the children a voice.
