Puppet theatre is a perfect medium for immersing children in the world of stories. Here, the traditional craft of puppet or shadow play is combined with modern theatre, which deals with highly topical social issues. Laws of nature are suspended, fantasy and reality stand side by side on an equal footing. Visual and performing arts combine to create an emotional experience that can grip all children.
Two thrilling plays will take your pupils into the world of fantasy and provide your class with an unforgettable experience. School classes from the cantons of Basel-Stadt and Basel-Landschaft can visit all the offers at a reduced price.
