A romantic magic play between flower magic and dragon fight
When the curtain rises at the historical Bamberg Puppet Theater, a fairy-tale journey begins: Prince Rose-Red sets off with his loyal squire Kasperl Larifari to search for Princess Lily-White. Count Pocci wrote this romantic magic play in 1858 for the Munich Puppet Theater – a work that continues to bring to life the special connection of puppetry, acting, and nostalgic stage atmosphere.
A fairy-tale dramaturgy full of dangers
The evil sorcerer Negromantikus has transformed Princess Lily-White, her maid, and Miss Emma into flowers. On their adventurous quest, Rose-Red and Kasperl Larifari encounter a knight in a bear skin, the good fairy Lovingly, and the feared dragon Fire-Breath. Between transformation, pursuit, and magical rescue unfolds a clear, suspenseful dramaturgy about courage, loyalty, and the power of love.
Historical puppet art in the Staubschen House
The staging is connected to the romantic tradition of puppet theater. In the listed Staubschen House, a concentrated stage experience is created, where character direction, set design, and lighting immediately engage the audience's imagination. The small theater hall with 30 seats creates an intimate closeness to the stage and makes every movement of the puppets, every comic twist, and every dramatic moment particularly vivid.
Magic for families and theater lovers
With a duration of 110 minutes including an approximately 15-minute break, the performance is aimed at visitors aged 10 and above. The piece combines romantic fairy-tale motifs with Kasperl comedy and classical puppet play tradition. This creates a theatrical atmosphere that equally transports children, teenagers, and adults into a world of enchanted flowers, mysterious powers, and fairy-tale stage magic.
