At the international festival of contemporary puppet and object theater, artists from all over Europe present a wide range of theater projects in shows, performances and exhibitions at the Schaubude Berlin.
The 2024 edition was inspired by a quote from Jacint Verdaguer: "In the world of spirits, everything is connected." International artists dealt with the topic in various productions. Every year, productions, installations and exhibitions with an unconventional aesthetic quality and urgency of content are shown.
As in previous years, the festival continues its tradition of portraying current trends and developments in contemporary puppet and object theater - from anarchic puppet performances and poetic math lessons to intimate fairytale installations and live audio dramas. Border areas are explored and interfaces with sister arts such as performance, visual arts, dance, digital art and music are discovered.
