After a performance by the Augsburger Puppenkiste, a girl slips through a wooden door into a mysterious attic. There, Jim Knopf, Urmel, Princess Li Si and Kalle Wirsch come to life.
And the woman who carved all these puppets: Hatü or Hannelore Oehmichen, the daughter of the inventor of the legendary puppet theater, Walter Oehmichen. She ran the Augsburger Puppenkiste with him and was its most important puppet maker.
It is the story of a fairy tale and at the same time part of a hellish story: in the middle of the Second World War, the young girl Hatü also experiences the deportation of Jews, flight and destruction.
"Herzfaden" describes the power of the imagination in dark times, but also about the traces that ideological resentments leave in people's souls and that haunt them right into the darkest corner of an attic.
Thomas Hettche's essays and novels have been awarded numerous prizes.
There will be a free introduction to the play by Linda Keil at this event. Starts at 7.15 pm in the auditorium.
"Herzfaden" was shortlisted for the German Book Prize in 2020 and was on the SPIEGEL bestseller list for weeks
