When Little Coriander Came - A Puppet Theatre Play. For Ages 3 and Up

A community of Tuchlings lives in a kitchen. They drum, giggle and romp happily through their home. Then one day a letter arrives from the mayor: the Tuchlings must take in someone called "Coriander". Why them, of all people? And who is this Coriander anyway? Probably smelly. Probably big and greedy for space. Sure to break things and make a mess. The verdict is clear: he must not come! Everything should stay just as it always has been! But Coriander comes anyway...

Stefanie Hattenkofer's puppet show is full of affectionate detail - ordinary household objects are playfully brought to life. Characters spring up in no time and fill the performance space with energy. Theater Hattenkofer last visited us with the show "Ein Besen für Hexe Hilda". It's great to welcome them back to Kempen with their newest piece, about encountering the unknown and the joy of discovering how unexpectedly delightful the unfamiliar can be.

Full details are available on the artist's website.
