Kasper and the Mushroom Goblin: Puppet theater full of wit, hunger, and forest secrets
On September 13, 2026, the Bielefeld Puppet Play – Dagmar Selje invites you to a child-friendly stage experience that wins over with tempo, charm, and lovingly crafted hand puppetry. Kasper and the Mushroom Goblin combines classic Kasper theater tradition with a little adventure story for children aged 3 and above.
When the stomach growls, the adventure begins
The story begins with a familiar, almost everyday problem: Kasper's grandma returns not only without the beloved porcini mushrooms from the forest but also without her glasses. Kasper sets off in search with an empty stomach. However, in Goblin Forest, there is more than just a mushroom problem – a secret creates suspense, movement, and hearty audience reactions. From this simple starting point, a vibrant puppet theater emerges that emphasizes its immediacy.
Puppet theater with closeness, tempo, and atmosphere
The Bielefeld Puppet Play stands for a compact theater format that creates intimacy: about 100 seats, a cozy hall, and a foyer that allows for encounters. This intimate theater atmosphere carries the piece. The performance style thrives on clear dramaturgy, pointed character moments, and that mix of childlike fantasy and craftsmanship that distinguishes good puppet theater. The acoustics, lighting mood, and the direct presence of the puppets enhance the stage experience and make the performance easily accessible even for young audiences.
A piece for little explorers
As an impatient, hungry Kasper piece for children aged 3 and above, the performance caters to families who want to not just watch theater but experience it. Kasper theater serves as a playful introduction to the world of the stage: understandable, vivid, funny, and at the same time with a little hint of adventure. The result is an afternoon that captivates children and reminds adults of the lively tradition of puppet theater.
The performance venue in Bielefeld
The performance takes place at the Bielefeld Puppet Play – Dagmar Selje at Herforder Straße 5-7 in 33602 Bielefeld. The venue is centrally located and, according to the cultural office, has a parking garage next to the building as well as connections to buses and trains.

Conclusion: A little Kasper, a great theater pleasure
Kasper and the Mushroom Goblin promises a warm-hearted, imaginative, and pointed puppet theater for the whole family. Anyone who wants to delight children with clever, lively stage magic should experience this performance live.
