About

Paper theater is a tabletop stage where painted cardboard figures move in front of layered paper scenery. Six troupes from across Germany bring their shows to the Kleines Theater im Pförtnerhaus, home of a Kasperl puppet stage, under this year's motto "Ende gut, alles gut". The program leans grown-up, with operetta and literature next to fairy tales, so it suits curious older kids more than toddlers.

Kids €9, adults €14
