The Little Ghost at the Augsburger Puppenkiste: A lovable classic awakens

When the clock strikes midnight, a game of curiosity, wit, and poetic eeriness begins at the Augsburger Puppenkiste. The Little Ghost brings Otfried Preußler's timeless children's book classic to the stage as a lovingly narrated puppet theater – recommended for ages 3 and up, with a duration of 75 minutes. The official description depicts the nocturnal creature as mischievous and fond of light, who one day discovers the world in daylight and also learns about the shadows of bright adventure.

A stage experience for young and old theater lovers

The Augsburger Puppenkiste remains true to its signature style: fine character handling, clear imagery, and that unmistakable theater atmosphere where wood, light, and voice open up an entire world. Especially in children's and family theater, this production shows its strength because it does not explain imagination, but makes it visible. This creates a stage experience that does not rely on effects but on precision, rhythm, and the quiet magic of puppet theater.

Family theater with heart, excitement, and warm humor

The story combines children's adventurous spirit with a gentle message about courage, perception, and the surprises of light. The Puppenkiste presents this story in a format that engages young audiences and reminds adults of the power of classic storytelling. For visitors to Augsburg and families with a love for theater, this is an invitation to a stage where every detail matters: the set design, the lighting atmosphere, the acoustics, and the movement of the characters.
