Sleeping Beauty: Fairytale Magic on the Threads of Imagination

When the curtain rises on November 4, 2026, at the Bamberg Puppet Theater, a fairytale journey through the world of Sleeping Beauty and the fairies begins. The production combines classic storytelling with artfully conducted puppets, enchanting costumes, and elaborately designed sets that remind of distinctive places in Bamberg.

A Fairytale Comes to Life

The story unfolds in a theater atmosphere where magical imagery meets the Bamberg cityscape. Puppets move through the rooms of the New Residence and the courtyard up to the rose garden, where the fairytale finds its happy ending. The direction focuses on clear scene images, finely crafted figures, and a staging that appeals to children as well as adult companions.

Craftsmanship, Stage Design, and Acting Art

At the center is the special connection between puppetry, stage design, and precise guidance. Every movement of the puppets arises from the interplay of thread guidance, lighting mood, and musically influenced stage effects. Thus, the familiar material becomes a sensual stage experience that makes the art of puppetry theater directly tangible.

A Look Behind the Scenes

After the performance, the theater space opens up for a special insight: The audience is allowed to observe the puppets up close and watch the ensemble artistically at work. This allows young viewers to see how a whole fairytale world is created from wood, fabric, color, and movement.

A Family Experience with Bamberg Atmosphere

The approximately 60-minute performance is suitable for children from five years accompanied by an adult. The access is not barrier-free. A punctual start is part of the afternoon's dramaturgy, as no entry is possible after the performance begins. Prior registration with the VHS Bamberg is required.
