A poetic puppet theater about wasps, courage, and nature
On June 28, 2026, the BauernhausMuseum Bielefeld transforms into a small stage of wonders: The puppet theater Donnerknispel presents Tessa and Lissi, a lovingly told story from the world of wasps. The preview promises a finely crafted stage experience for children aged 5 and up, combining knowledge transfer, imagination, and lively puppet play.
Wasps in a different light: from a nuisance to nature allies
When people think of wasps, they often first hear the annoying buzzing at the dessert table. But this is exactly where the production takes its cue: With humor, warmth, and a clever perspective on nature, the puppet theater shows how valuable these creatures are for our ecosystem. The two wasp girls Tessa and Lissi embark on a flight full of small dangers, encountering a frog, a dragonfly, and a ladybug, and learn that courage and friendship can achieve great things even in the smallest of ways.
Fine puppet play with narrative precision
The theater by Ingrid Schaldach works with handcrafted puppets and original texts. This handwriting shapes the production: detailed, approachable, and with a keen sense for child-friendly dramaturgy. The blend of poetic lightness and clear message makes the performance appealing. For young viewers, a theater atmosphere emerges where wonder and laughter stand side by side.
A compact afternoon for families
The performance lasts about 45 minutes and is thus ideal for a cultured family outing. Without registration and with manageable admission, access remains low-threshold. The BauernhausMuseum provides the perfect setting: a historical environment where storytelling, discovery, and nature experiences enhance each other.
Stage experience with an educational core
The preview highlights a piece that aims for more than mere entertainment. Tessa and Lissi combines puppet theater, natural sciences, and emotional storytelling into a child-friendly experience that lingers in memories. Those who appreciate lively acting in a small format, a lovingly crafted stage design, and a clear dramaturgical line will find an invitation with substance here.
Conclusion: This puppet theater promises a special afternoon for families who wish to experience culture with meaning and sensuality. Those who see Tessa and Lissi live will enjoy a charming, clever, and colorful stage adventure that successfully combines nature theater and puppet magic.
