A fairy tale comes to life on the stage of the Haniel Campus
With Theater Kreuz und Quer - Sleeping Beauty, a lovingly playful children's theater will come to the Haniel Campus in Duisburg-Ruhrort on July 11, 2026. Two clowns, a sofa, an orange, and the Brothers Grimm fairy tale for children aged 4 and over create a stage experience that works with imagination, lightness, and fine wit. The Haniel Campus at Franz-Haniel-Platz provides a striking, urban setting with good transport links and parking available on site. ([haniel.de](https://www.haniel.de/kontakt/?utm_source=openai))
Clownish joy of playing instead of icing
The unique signature of Theater Kreuz & Quer lies in the combination of acting, puppet theater, and clownish precision. The official ensemble describes its version of Sleeping Beauty as a play with few, but highly charged props and a free approach to the Grimm fairy tale; that is precisely where the charm of this production arises. From the reduction emerges space for imagination, for physical comedy, and for those little surprises that immediately capture the young audience.

Fairy tale material with a lively stage language
Sleeping Beauty is one of the great fairy tale materials that is continually re-examined on stage. In theater history, this material shows how differently direction, dramaturgy, and playing style can set accents: sometimes poetically, sometimes humorously, sometimes musically condensed. At Theater Kreuz & Quer, it is not the heavy splendor that is in the foreground, but the immediate play with objects, bodies, and rhythm. This creates closeness, pace, and a theatrical atmosphere that supports both children and adults alike.

The Haniel Campus as a strong venue
The Haniel Campus is regarded as a modern event venue with seminar and event rooms, a restaurant, and parking spaces directly on the premises. The address Franz-Haniel-Platz 1 in 47119 Duisburg is also easily accessible by public transport; the line 901 takes you from the main station to the Tausendfensterhaus stop. For families, this means: a clear, pragmatic event framework without complicated routes, but with an urban ambiance and a short journey.
