The Golden Goose

Puppet theatre based on the fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm

Klaus, mocked by everyone as a fool, shares what little he has with an old man in the forest and receives the golden goose in return. Anyone who touches it out of greed sticks to it.

The king promises him the princess as his wife and half the kingdom as soon as the princess laughs again. With the bizarre chain around the golden goose, the fool succeeds in winning the princess's heart. But the king does not keep his promise. Three tests lie ahead and Klaus must prove that he is not a fool, but a clever boy with a wealth of ideas.

This popular fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm is told as a puppet show with songs, humour and charm for children aged 3 and over.
