A Magical Journey into the Water World
In the puppet show The Little Water Man, children and families dive into an imaginative underwater world. The Bielefeld Puppet Theater Dagmar Selje brings the beloved children's book classic, loosely based on Otfried Preußler, to the stage of the Historical Museum Bielefeld in a child-friendly manner.
Curious Adventures with the Little Hero
The water man's parents are proud of their son. As soon as the little water man can swim, he explores his water world together with the wise carp Cyprinus. In doing so, he discovers the human world and asks exciting questions: Why are there so many things at the bottom of the pond? And what does a fisherman actually do?
First Theater Experience for Young Children
With a duration of around 40 minutes, the performance is particularly suitable for children aged 3 and up and for families who want to enjoy their first theater experience together. The calm, imaginative story creates space for wonder, curiosity, and children's laughter. Puppetry, figures, and storytelling combine entertainment with an age-appropriate learning experience.
Family Time with Educational Value
The story invites children to observe their environment attentively and to ask questions about nature, people, and coexistence. The puppet theater strengthens imagination, language understanding, and empathetic thinking. At the same time, families experience time together in a protected indoor atmosphere with a clearly manageable program.
