Welcome to the world of puppets!

For the 33nd time, we are immersing ourselves in the world of puppets with the Puppet Theater Festival and allowing ourselves to be enchanted by the fascination of puppets. At a time when digital effects dominate our everyday lives, a return to the art of puppetry is a welcome change. Whether young or old, everyone is thrilled by the creativity and charisma of the puppeteers.

The puppets dance not only in the Stadttheater, the Minoriten and the Schlachthof, but also in the pedestrian zone and at the Zwinger you will be able to experience many a performance up close.
The 'Young Animation Festival' offers up-and-coming artists the opportunity to try out their skills and present them to an audience.

Let yourself be enchanted and whisked away into a world full of fantasy, adventure and unforgettable moments!
