- LAMPENFIEBER accompanies five children of the young ensemble of the Friedrichstadt-Palast during the creation of the new children's play from the castings to the rehearsals to the grand premiere evening in front of 2,000 spectators. We experience with them a year full of challenges: The long rehearsal process with many small and big successes and setbacks, the eager anticipation of the cast of the leading roles, competition and friendship and finally the big premiere. In addition to their everyday life at the palace, we also accompany the five in their private lives, at home and at school. We take part in their personal development, their dreams and fears, conflicts with their parents and the normal madness of puberty.
