Magical Wish Punch for Families at the Düsseldorf Puppet Theatre
Christmas time, mysterious puppets, and a story full of magic: On December 25, 2026, the Düsseldorf Puppet Theatre invites families to the performance of The satanarchaeolügenialkohöllische Wish Punch. The imaginative magic play based on the book by Michael Ende combines children's laughter, excitement, and shared time into a special family experience in Düsseldorf.
A cheerful story between magic and responsibility
Beelzebub Irrwitzer and his aunt Tyti have not fulfilled their quota of evil deeds. On New Year's Eve begins a race against time: Can the two still make up their shortcomings? The story is full of quirky ideas, unexpected twists, and dark humor while remaining accessible as a child-friendly theatre experience for children aged 8 and older.
Puppet play with atmosphere and wonder
On the stage of the historic Palais Wittgenstein, moving images, precise puppet control, and a fairy-tale world come to life. The puppet theatre appeals to the imagination and offers a special learning experience: children experience how characters come to life through movement, voice, music, and set design. This combination of art, storytelling, and craftsmanship fosters curiosity, concentration, and cultural development.
Aged appropriately for children from 8 years
The play is suitable for adults and children aged 8 and up. The performance lasts about 130 minutes including an intermission, providing a clearly structured evening at the theatre. Families can explore a demanding story together, talk about good and evil deeds, and then reflect on their impressions in peace.
Family-friendly to the theatre
The Düsseldorf Puppet Theatre is centrally located at Bilker Straße 7 in Palais Wittgenstein, near Carlsplatz. The nearest parking garage is at Carlsplatz. Public transport access includes the subway station Benrather Straße as well as the stops Königsallee/Steinstraße and Heinrich-Heine-Allee. Families are advised to reserve tickets early.
