Puppet Theater Marie Bretschneider Presents: "The Nocturnal Animal"

A play for little and big explorers, about nature and us.

"Dear ones, I’m reporting from the wilderness, forest, and fields. I’m still close to the city but have pitched my tent far enough out to lie in wait for the unknown animal that only appears at full moon. The stars are right, the wind has died down, so it might show itself tonight. So far, all we know is that it lives near people, is hard to find because it perfectly blends into its surroundings – the night – it’s nearly black, only the full moon makes it visibly glow. I hope we’re lucky. I’ll check in again soon. For now, we just wait, stay calm, and aha, this is interesting..."

An adventurer sets out in search of the fascinating animal and takes the children along on a journey through nature. Small and bigger animals from our surroundings appear and provide important clues. Will the nocturnal animal reveal itself?

A play for little and big explorers, about nature and us.

Running time: approx. 50 minutes.

Suitable from 4 years old
