The international festival Theater der Dinge is one of the most important German festival for contemporary puppet theater. It takes place for the 15th time in 2026 and will celebrate its anniversary with the thematic focus “the world as a model”: Dreamland by Théâtre Rude Ingénierie from Québec features New York’s amusement park Coney Island in its heyday as a large-scale kinetic object installation while in the theater series Transport, six European puppet theaters deal with logistics, tourism and ecology using 3D printed miniature worlds.  Guest performances from across all of Europe and encounter format round out the schedule of programming at multiple venues across Berlin.
