Astronomer, mathematician and astrologer Johannes Kepler opened mankind's door to the cosmos by calculating planetary movements. And: he is our university's namesake.


The Circus of Knowledge takes audiences on a fantastic journey back in time as "MondTraum & Planetenklang" uses light and shadow to recount the life and times of the great natural scientist and polymath.

„The children loved the shadow theater performance! The main character's different roles and voices captivated the kids 100%. Kudos to the main actor and I also enjoyed his performance. I cannot even begin to imagine how much time it takes to put on a performance like this. Johannes Keplers' story was relayed in an age-appropriate, interesting, amusing, and humor-filled way. “
