Fidena Festival: Bois (Wood) brings poetic puppet theater to the Kunstmuseum Bochum

On May 17, 2026, a space for astonished looks, gentle gestures, and the unmistakable festival atmosphere of Fidena will open at the Kunstmuseum Bochum. The international puppet and object theater classic has been a significant platform for demanding forms of performing arts since 1958 and will enter a new festival round from May 13 to 21, 2026.

A festival with history, attitude, and public space

Fidena stands for tradition and renewal at the same time: For decades, the festival has connected Bochum with the international puppet theater scene, presenting productions from many countries and setting a clear sign for participation in 2026 with a newly formed citizens' jury. It is precisely this mix of artistic authority, curatorial energy, and community feeling that makes the festival appealing.

Bois: when wood becomes a lively stage material

Bois by Puzzle Théâtre invites children and adults into a world where small beings emerge from wooden pieces, playing, arguing, and becoming curious. The piece is scheduled for May 17, 2026, at 2:30 PM at the Kunstmuseum Bochum; simultaneously, the festival environment points to additional dates in the Fidena program around this time.
