Puppet and object theatre
The Artisanen set out on a biographical journey of discovery: using a puppet and a host of props, they recount the eventful life of the Swedish author, who not only wrote magnificent children’s literature but was also a keen observer of her time, and who championed the equal coexistence of children and adults in ways that went far beyond her famous Peace Prize speech.

Astrid Lindgren - Die Menschheit hat den Verstand verloren
The evening sheds light on the life of a woman who remained politically active well into old age, fought for children’s and animal rights, and urges us to approach the world with curiosity and courage. Her message remains: ‘Reason must be rediscovered in order to create a better world.’
