A fairy tale from the depths, shining anew in Augsburg

With The Little Mermaid, the Augsburg Puppet Theater brings a classic of longing to the stage: freely adapted from Hans Christian Andersen, retold as a poetic stage experience for children and adults aged 5 and up. The production takes you into an underwater world where adventure, transformation, and a high price are closely intertwined.

A story between longing and sacrifice

Kaia, who loses her love for the sea yet cannot let go of it, follows the call of the unknown to the surface. There, she meets the prince, promise, and danger. The dramaturgy lives on a timeless core: those who want to gain something new always risk loss. It is precisely in this that the power of this fairy tale lies, which has a special intensity in puppet theater.

The signature of the Augsburg Puppet Theater

For decades, the Augsburg Puppet Theater has stood for precise staging, lovingly crafted sets, and a theatrical atmosphere where wood, light, and movement unfold their own magic. This version also relies on the interplay of puppetry, clear narrative structure, and richly illustrated scenes. The result promises a quiet but powerful stage experience that makes it easier for children to access and brings adults back to their first encounter with Andersen through its fairy tale magic.

Family theater with emotional depth

Recommended for ages 5 and up, the performance is aimed at families who want to not only see culture but feel it. Especially in puppet theater, a special closeness emerges, where audience reactions often manifest in the first image: amazement, smiles, concentrated silence. The Little Mermaid unfolds less loud effects and more subtle accents that remain in memory.

A venue with tradition and clear access

The performance takes place at the historic house of the Augsburg Puppet Theater at Spitalgasse 15 in Augsburg. The theater is accessible and located in the old town, suggesting the use of public transport due to the pedestrian zone. For drivers, alternatives such as the City-Galerie parking garage and the Park & Ride lot Spickelbad are available. Thus, the theater visit already becomes a small cultural journey through the city.

Conclusion: Those who engage in this performance experience a warm, poetic, and carefully composed fairy tale theater full of imagery and feeling. The Little Mermaid promises an evening that resonates long after and touches both families and theater enthusiasts alike. Secure your tickets now and experience the magic live.
