A poetic theater experience for the very young at Theaterrevier
With Under the Tree, the Compagnie À demain mon amour brings a delicate puppet theater for the youngest visitors to the stage on May 16, 2026, at Theaterrevier Bochum. The short performance is aimed at children from 0 years old and combines quiet images, movement, and music into a gentle experience specifically tailored for early perception and shared discovery.
A tree as a stage for quiet wonders
At the center stands a tree, around which two people meet, without immediately knowing each other. From small gestures, circles, and glances, an atmosphere emerges in which the audience's mood gradually builds up. Between the branches, animal figures appear, peeking out curiously and opening up their own delicate world.
Puppet theater with closeness, rhythm, and room for individual impulses
The piece relies on a clear, reduced organization of the scene and thus leaves ample room for imagination. Children are allowed to observe, engage, or actively explore the scene. This form of event planning is ideal for an early theater experience, where not volume, but perception, movement, and trust set the tone.
Short duration, great impact
With a duration of only 25 minutes, Under the Tree remains deliberately compact and family-friendly. Afterward, a short stay with music and books invites reflection on the experience. This creates a calm afternoon for families that avoids haste while remaining intense in memory.
Fidena 2026 as a cultural framework
The performance is part of Fidena 2026, the international puppet theater festival in Bochum. Since 1958, Fidena has gathered outstanding productions of international puppet theater; the 2026 edition runs from May 13 to 21 and marks the first edition under the new leadership of Helene Ewert and Christofer Schmidt. This gives the guest performance additional authority and context within the festival.
Those seeking a sensitive, lovingly designed theater experience for the youngest will find a special event here with a strong atmosphere and clear artistic signature. Under the Tree invites you to experience theater in its quietest and most touching form live.
