Shadow theatre

as part of the Berlin Fairy Tale Days

Theater Scuraluna mit dem farbigen Schattenspiel „Peter und der Wolf“ – Schattentheater mit Kind, Wolf, Haus, Vogel und Katze auf Baum, Äpfel hängen in Ästen, Gras und Pilz im Vordergrund.

This year, the Berlin Fairy Tale Days will take place under the theme “The Magic Flute and the Star Harp—Music in Fairy Tales and Stories.”

Music is far more than a collection of sounds – it is a universal language that brings people together when words alone are not enough. It also works its magic in fairy tales and stories: it can touch hearts, open up new paths and transform loneliness into a sense of community. A well-known example is the Brothers Grimm’s *The Bremen Town Musicians*, in which singing together opens up new horizons for four outsiders. Works such as *The Magic Flute* and *Peter and the Wolf* also demonstrate how music recounts adventures, sparks the imagination and brings people together.

Here at the Käthe Kollwitz Museum, on Sunday 8 November 2026, Sergei Prokofiev’s musical fairy tale "Peter and the Wolf" will come to life as an atmospheric shadow puppet show accompanied by orchestral music.
