A Sheep for Life: Wintry Puppet Theatre for Little Theatre Fans

When the cold season sets in outside, a special journey begins at the Bielefeld Puppet Theatre: A Sheep for Life tells the story of a hungry wolf, a curious sheep, and an unusual friendship. This charming winter story by Maritgen Matter combines children's laughter, excitement, and touching moments into a warm family experience.

A Sled Ride Through the Winter Night

On a cold winter night, the wolf searches for something to eat. There he encounters a lonely sheep and tempts it with stories of a mysterious land full of food and golden timepieces out of the barn. A thrilling sled ride begins, leading both into an unexpected encounter.

Friendship, Trust, and Personal Boundaries

The child-friendly staging invites families to think about friendship, trust, and different needs. Children from four years old experience a developmentally appropriate learning experience that playfully awakens curiosity, compassion, and the development of personal boundaries. The story remains humorous, imaginative, and easily accessible.

Puppet Theatre with Music and Lots of Imagination

Dagmar Selje brings the story to the stage as a roughly 40-minute puppet show. Directed by Kai Büchner, with characters and set design by Mona Selje, and music by Helge Neuhaus. Moving images, a wintry atmosphere, and lively characters create a protected theatre space for a first or further shared cultural experience.

With a recommended age group from four years, the piece is particularly aimed at families with kindergarten and elementary school children. The short playing time supports a focused, age-appropriate theatre experience and allows for conversations about the experience.
