Fliegendes Theater Berlin
Figure theatre with heart, creativity and poetry - for over 40 years.
The Fliegende Theater in Berlin-Kreuzberg is an award-winning figure and object theatre that has been delighting children and adults with imaginative productions since 1978. Located in a charming backyard, it offers a unique theatre experience in an intimate atmosphere.
Since its foundation, the Fliegende Theater has been an integral part of Berlin's cultural landscape - a creative place where imagination takes shape. Founded by theatre-makers with a great passion for puppetry, the theatre has developed into an artistic home for poetic and visual theatre that works across all age groups.
In the charming Theatersaal Kreuzberg, just a few minutes' walk from the lively Mehringdamm, the productions whisk you away to touching, imaginative worlds. Whether delicate fabric figures, silhouettes or sophisticated masks - each production is a small work of art in its own right. The Fliegende Theater combines elements of puppetry with drama, music and artistic means to create a sensual theatre experience that will stay with you for a long time.
What's on the programme
The programme is aimed at children aged 3 and over as well as adults. Daycare centres and school classes are welcome in the mornings, while families and theatre lovers get their money's worth in the afternoons and at weekends. Evening performances for an adult audience also show how versatile and profound puppet theatre can be - from literary adaptations and modern themes to experimental formats.
Popular children's plays include "Der kleine Angsthase", "Käfer & Co" or "How Findus came to Pettersson" - lovingly staged stories that deal with central themes such as friendship, courage and solidarity in a child-friendly way and with great sensitivity. For adults, the theatre offers works such as "The Master and Margarita" or "Büchner's Lenz", which boast impressive imagery and depth. International co-productions and festivals are also part of the varied repertoire.
In addition to public performances, the theatre also offers workshops, training courses and special events. The focus is always on strengthening imagination, creativity and an imaginative approach to the world.
Be inspired, enchanted and surprised - the Fliegende Theater welcomes you!
