How does the festival ticket work?

In the FEZ ticket shop, pick the show you most want to see. Buying it gets you the festival ticket for that day. After that show, ask at the service counter in the foyer for seat cards for more shows; they go out depending on space.

Does one ticket cover both days?

No. The festival ticket is for Saturday or Sunday, the day of the show you book.

Is there anything for a 2-year-old?

Yes. Zenobia Theater's Muffin, played in the foyer, is recommended from 2. Most other shows are recommended from 3, 4 or 5, so check each one in the ticket shop.

Is there a show for older kids?

Jan Mixsa and Jörg Schmidt's Wenn der Kasper aber nun ein Pech hat is recommended from 12.

About

FEZ-Berlin, a large children's and family center in the Wuhlheide park, turns its rooms and stages into a puppet theater festival for the 30th time. Professional puppet and object theater companies play fairy tales, picture-book stories like The Gruffalo and The Rainbow Fish, and pieces for the very youngest. Around the shows, a side program lets kids make things themselves and explore the world of theater a bit further.
