International Festival for Contemporary Puppet and Object Theatre
Every autumn, Berlin transforms into a center for contemporary object and puppet theater: "Theater der Dinge," the international festival of Schaubude Berlin, brings together artists from all over the world who rethink, expand, and challenge the genre. The festival is considered a significant source of inspiration for current developments in this multifaceted art form.

The next edition will take place from October 31 to November 5, 2025, at six different venues across Berlin. This year's theme, "Autonomous Objects," explores how things detach themselves from their creators, suggest their own actions, and even become subjects themselves.
Look forward to a program that renegotiates the boundaries between matter, body, and narrative—experimental, political, sensual, and surprisingly vibrant.
