  • Puppet theater

Two puppet figures are positioned on a stage against a dark background with white dots. One figure peeks out from an open box with a patterned lid, while a smaller figure with red hair and a yellow dress stands in front of it. The scene is brightly lit. A small animal figure with large ears stands behind a stack of three white, cushion-like shapes. The scene is set against a dark background, with the light-colored surface and the white objects prominently highlighted in the foreground. A row of colorful figures and houses is arranged on a semicircular platform against a black background. The elements are brightly colored and positioned along the upper edge of the curved structure. Three puppet figures stand on a light-colored fabric surface against a black background. A figure with red hair and a yellow dress is positioned in the center. On the left stands a blue-clad figure with long hair, while a green figure is partially visible on the right. The scene is lit like a theater stage.

Like always, the trolls Frieda and Mey hibernate and take a long nap during the winter. This year, however, Knut wakes them up. “Christmas is right around the corner.” But there’s no one around the corner. “Who’s Christmas? Are they big, little, dangerous?” Frieda and Mey think a lot about how they can get themselves ready for Christmas.

“Who How What Christmas?” is a cheerful story about trolls who discover Christmas for themselves in a very special way.
