Program

What might the Bethlehem stable have looked like? Could the Virgin Mary have eaten oranges? And did Baby Jesus brush his teeth?

A performance in which the participants themselves take part. You step into history—right into the middle of the Bethlehem stable, which you build around you using various construction pieces. To complete it, you also have free-standing puppets about 80 cm tall.
At first, the children develop their own idea of what Bethlehem looked like and decide whether certain prepared items belong there—such as a toothbrush, oranges, a mobile phone, potatoes, a chair, etc. Then a traveler arrives and tells them what it really looked like at the time: how stables were built, what people ate, what kind of furniture they had at home, and so on.
