Puppet Theatre in the Historic Monastery Garden
The Kyritz Puppet Theatre Days are the summer festival for figure theatre in the Ostprignitz-Ruppin district. On August 1st and 2nd, 2026, Saturdays and Sundays from 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM, various puppet theatre ensembles will perform in the church and monastery garden of the historic Kultur|Kloster|Kyritz.
Venue: The Kultur|Kloster|Kyritz
The Kultur|Kloster|Kyritz at Johann-Sebastian-Bach-Straße 4 is the heart of Kyritz's cultural activities. The former monastery with its green courtyard between the church and the monastery offers an intimate, historic atmosphere that is ideal for puppet theatre – short distances between stages, shady trees, and a warm summer ambiance.
Programme and Ensembles
The exact programme will be published shortly before the festival. Several puppet theatre ensembles from Brandenburg and all over Germany will present classic and contemporary plays, many explicitly for children, others as evening performances for adults. Marionettes, hand puppets, rod puppets, and object theatre will alternate. Numerous short performances will take place throughout the festival days – you can wander through the garden and let yourself drift from one performance to the next.
Kyritz — Knattermühlenstadt in the Prignitz
Kyritz an der Knatter in the Ostprignitz-Ruppin district bears the nickname "Knattermühlenstadt" (Town of Knatter Mills) because of the old water mills on the Knatter stream. With around 9,000 inhabitants, Kyritz is a central town between Berlin (approx. 1 hour) and Rostock, and at the same time the gateway to the Märkische Schweiz in the south and the Prignitz in the north. The puppet theatre festival is part of Kyritz's rich summer cultural programme, which also includes the local heritage festival and the Klosterhof Market.
