Kristine Stahl: Kasper Builds a House

In this entertaining puppet theater play for children aged 4 and up, Kasper builds a house—but the journey there is full of obstacles. The witch from the town hall not only demands permits but also absurd taxes, such as the fart tax for the twenty children. The envious neighbor, a devil, steals the building materials, and the grandmother, who was supposed to look after the children and bake pancakes, prefers to go jogging instead. In the end, however, teamwork prevails, and the house is completed.

Kristine Stahl directs the story loosely based on Hartmut Lorenz, bringing a lively, humorous adaptation to the stage. With typical Kasperle elements like witty wordplay and slapstick, the play offers an entertaining theater experience of about 50 minutes.
