Pippi Longstocking brings Villa Kunterbunt to the stage
On November 14, 2026, the Small Hall in the Edwin-Scharff-Haus Neu-Ulm transforms into a colorful adventure world: The Rieser Puppet Theater tells Astrid Lindgren's unforgettable story of Pippi Longstocking, the strongest and most unconventional girl in the world. Two family performances at 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM invite children and adults to an immediate stage experience full of imagination, humor, and excitement.
A Sea Voyage with Pippi, Tommy, and Annika
In Villa Kunterbunt, an adventure begins that soon leads far beyond the neighborhood. Together with her monkey Mr. Nilsson, her horse Little Uncle, and her friends Tommy and Annika, Pippi sets out to rescue her father Captain Efraim Longstocking from the hands of mean pirates. On the ship Hoppetosse, the journey takes them to the South Sea island of Porto Piluse, where courage, friendship, and inventiveness determine the outcome of the story.
Puppet Theater with Color, Movement, and Imagination
The production of the Rieser Puppet Theater relies on modern puppetry, handcrafted figures, and a lovingly designed stage world. When Pippi appears with her red braids, boundless energy, and unusual ideas, a lively theater atmosphere is created in which young audience members marvel, laugh, and engage. Set design, figure handling, and colorful design combine to create a sensory form of acting art for the whole family.
Drama for a Young Audience
Pippi Longstocking has stood for self-confidence, imagination, and the courage to rethink rules for generations. The child-friendly drama makes these themes playfully experienceable while also telling about friendship, feelings, and how to deal with conflicts. The Rieser Puppet Theater combines entertainment with an educational claim, without losing the anarchic humor of the famous heroine.
A Short, Intense Family Experience
With a duration of about 50 minutes, the performance is particularly suitable for younger theater guests. The Small Hall offers a manageable, seated, and easily accessible environment. Entrance begins for the performance at 2:00 PM at 1:30 PM, and for the second performance at 3:30 PM. Tickets are available at the box office.
Conclusion: Experience Pippi Live
This puppet theater turns a children's book classic into a shared adventure in front of the audience's eyes. Families can expect a colorful stage experience with familiar characters, surprising twists, and a heroine who celebrates courage and imagination. Anyone who knows Pippi Longstocking not just from books or movies, but wants to experience her world firsthand, should not miss this theater event in Neu-Ulm.
