A wild fairy tale adventure for theater lovers of all ages

With The Wolf and the 7 Kids, the Berlin puppet theater duo Artisanen brings a fast-paced, humorous stage experience to Duisburg. The production combines fairy tale material, live music, and fine puppet play into a lively performance for children aged 4 and up and all who still enjoy being swept away by a clever theater atmosphere.

A classic with a fresh pulse

Very loosely based on the Brothers Grimm, the story unfolds as a fast-paced medley of hide-and-seek, seduction, and clever transformation. In Bert's bookstore, the rules of storytelling become confused: books move, the goat mother is gone, seven kids are frolicking through the house, and the hungry wolf uses all his tricks. The strength of this production lies precisely in this: it tells a familiar and surprising tale simultaneously, with precise dramaturgy and a clear sense of childlike suspense.

Puppet play, music, and movement in dense theater art

The Artisanen are known for their poetic forms that blend puppet theater, object play, performance, and music. Here, stage design, puppet work, and musical direction shape the events. The result is not just a retelling of the fairy tale but a living theater adaptation with rhythm, wit, and visible joy in performance. The show lasts about 45 minutes, keeping the young audience's attention focused and awake.

Open-air atmosphere in the Garden of Remembrance

The venue gives the evening a special note. The Garden of Remembrance at Springwall is located in the Duisburg inner harbor and is perfectly suited as an open, landscape-shaped location for outdoor culture. Especially for a family piece, a unique blend of spring air, urban expanse, and immediate proximity to the stage is created here. This makes the theater visit not only child-friendly but also a small excursion into Duisburg's cultural landscape.

What the audience can expect

The Wolf and the 7 Kids promises a cheerful, carefully crafted children's piece filled with fairy tale magic, humor, and craftsmanship in puppet theater. Those seeking clever entertainment, musical freshness, and an audience-friendly stage experience will enjoy an afternoon that resonates long after. This guest performance invites you to experience the wolf, the kids, and the art of storytelling live.
