To tell stories on stage, different kinds of puppets such as marionettes, glove puppets and rod puppets were created in over two thousand years. However, new techniques of play and forms were especially developed in recent decades. Originating in the rod puppet, the table-top puppet was created. The Guckkasten behind the puppeteers once hid, can now be omitted. The illusion of the play is not disturbed. The human dissolves behind the well-played puppet that attracts all the attention.

The exhibition takes a look behind the props, introduces techniques of play and even reveals some tricks. The visitor can try if he pursues a stage career or works as a technician mastering the elements on stage.
