HANDS UP! delights families with music, humor, and lots of wonder
With HANDS UP! you will experience a joyful family event in Duisburg that is entirely wordless yet immediately touches the heart. The puppet theater by and with Lejo from the Netherlands combines music, humor, and fine poetry into a child-friendly experience for small explorers and their companions.
A theater full of children's laughter and amazed faces
The staging relies on clear images, strong movements, and a lively stage. Especially for children, this is particularly accessible, as they discover the story with their eyes, ears, and imagination. This creates a playful learning fun that fosters concentration, perception, and the joy of watching together.
Why this puppet theater is so family-friendly
Lejo has been working with his own world of hand puppets since 1995 and has traveled far with his characters. HANDS UP! is designed as a wordless theater for families and is described on the official show page as family programming for ages 3 and up. According to the event information, the performance lasts about 45 minutes, making it well-suited for a relaxed family afternoon.
The location in the inner harbor
The performance takes place in the Garden of Remembrance at Springwall in Duisburg. The park-like location is fully accessible and located in the inner harbor, where there are nearby restaurants, cafés, and restrooms. This creates a pleasant setting for families with short walking distances and plenty of space for a relaxed outing.
Good to know for families
Admission costs 3.00 euros per person. Reservations are possible until one day before the performance starts. At the festival grounds, tickets can also be purchased at the info tent while seats are available. This keeps the visit flexible and well-planned for families with children.
Conclusion: A small stage magic with a big impact
HANDS UP! combines child-friendly theater, musical lightness, and a lovingly designed game idea into a special family experience in Duisburg. Anyone looking for puppet theater with heart, humor, and tranquility should experience this performance live.
