Dragons and humans have not always been enemies all over the world. In the small forgotten country of Pyromania, high up in a mountain range, dragons and humans live and work together peacefully. Almost all the dragons make themselves useful, only the young dragon Mo, who cannot breathe fire and is afraid of flying, is on a quest to find his destiny. When he finds his grandfather's magic trumpet in the garden, his search takes a decisive turn: Mo wants to become the first trumpet dragon of Pyromania! But who in Pyromania needs a trumpet dragon.
In a playful way, the human-dragon tale of Mo shows the healing power of music. It deals with questions about one's own calling and the desire for belonging and a place in the world. A great magic dragon adventure on the way Mo discovers his own abilities.

It's hard to believe: in May 2025, the jazz festival will take place in the Tischlerei for the 5th time and illustrious programmes and stars of the jazz scene will join forces. Experience Handel's music as the perfect template for improvised jazz (5, 6 May). The fantastic guitarist Josho Stephan plays a tribute to Django Reinhardt (7, 8 May), the unforgettable songs that originated on the Motown Records label are interpreted by Worthy Davis on 9 May and Mette Nadja Hansen lends her voice and bends her knee to the incomparable Ella Fitzgerald and The Count (10, 11 May). Two concerts for children aged between 4 and 7 about the "magic dragon Mo", the first trumpet dragon in Pyromania, will conclude the festival on 11 and 12 May.
