Eine Geschichte des Figurentheaters
- Location:
- FITZ Das Theater animierter Formen, Eberhardstr. 61, 70173 Stuttgart
Lecture-performance for adults and children ages 10 and up
Professor Truche proves it: puppet theater is infinite. And useful—for example, against toothaches. And extremely dangerous, at least for the puppeteer Brioché, who nearly ended up at the stake in the 17th century on charges of witchcraft.
Professor Truche is a veritable treasure trove of astonishing anecdotes, amusing facts, and exciting legends. We encounter the marionnettes à la planchette in the flesh, get to know Pulcinella’s relatives, and discover that even Professor Truche doesn’t get off scot-free in this company.
Welcome to our lecture-performance on the fascinating history of puppet theater in France and Germany.
