A poetic summer afternoon full of imagination in the Botanical Garden
With Lena's Window, a fine, richly visual puppet theater opens in Braunschweig for families and young children from 4 years old. The piece gently tells the story of Lena, a little fairy, and a nighttime encounter that turns into a warm friendship between window sill and garden. On 09.08.2026 at 4:00 PM, the audience can expect an atmospheric event experience in the open air at the Botanical Garden on Bültenweg.
A story that begins quietly and resonates long after
The production relies on tabletop figures, hand puppets, and a calm, poetic narrative tone. It is precisely this restraint that creates the charm: The audience experiences how a simple evening becomes a little adventure full of curiosity, tenderness, and imagination. For children, this creates a particularly accessible entry into theater, while for adults, it offers a finely crafted look at the power of puppet theater.
Open-air atmosphere in the Botanical Garden
The Botanical Garden at the entrance to Bültenweg provides a special backdrop for the piece. Amidst greenery, air, and summer calm, a mood unfolds that perfectly matches the material. Should the weather turn, the performance will take place in the theater hall of the Theater Fadenschein.
