The Little Witch returns with voice and joy of acting

On Sunday, October 18, 2026, the world of Otfried Preußler's children's book classic will come to life once more at the Historical Museum Bielefeld. Brit Dehler and Clara Fenchel will perform a dialogical reading, where the Little Witch and her faithful raven Abraxas become directly tangible through language, role changes, and scenic presence.

A literary experience for children and families

The reading combines literary fantasy with the atmosphere of the theater. Brit Dehler played the Little Witch in the Christmas fairy tale of the Bielefeld City Theater, while Clara Fenchel embodied Abraxas there. Their stage experience gives the dialogical reading a special expressive power: characters gain definition, dialogues acquire rhythm, and Preußler's narrative world opens up as a sonorous space for young and adult listeners.

Otfried Preußler's classic in cultural dialogue

The Little Witch is one of the defining works of German-speaking children's literature. The story about courage, friendship, rules, and the question of good deeds possesses a timeless narrative quality. In the museum, this children's book classic encounters an interactive exhibition dedicated to the characters and their adventures.

A special conclusion to the interactive exhibition

The reading marks the conclusion of the popular interactive exhibition The Little Witch at the Historical Museum Bielefeld. Thus, the afternoon combines reading, acting, and exhibition experience into a cultural event for the whole family. The familiar characters appear not only on the book pages, but gain a new presence through voice, gesture, and scenic tension.

Conclusion: Stories become alive

Visitors can expect an intimate reading atmosphere filled with theatrical energy, literary artistry, and familiar figures from a classic of children's literature. Those who wish to experience The Little Witch up close once again will find a delightful conclusion to the exhibition in this meeting with the author and actress.
