A Sunday full of stories, play, and cultural discoveries

On October 4, 2026, the City and State Library of Potsdam transforms into an open cultural space for families, literature enthusiasts, and curious visitors. During the cultural showcase Sundays at the Library!, the quiet atmosphere of reading combines with a lively program of theater, language, and shared activities.

A dynamic ABC for small and large language explorers

The highlight at 2:00 PM is the interactive theater Sad Tiger Toasts Tomatoes – A Little Piece of ABC by Nadia Budde. Actress Jördis Wölk leads the audience into a whimsical world of letters full of quirky characters, surprising word plays, and sonorous tongue twisters. The performance translates Nadia Budde's literary language art into an immediate stage experience where children not only watch but also become part of the action.

Literature as a space for imagination

The genre of interactive theater combines reading promotion, acting, and creative movement. From individual letters, figures, rhythms, and small narrative scenes emerge. This connection of language and play makes the event a special literary experience for children aged five and above.

The performance lasts about 20 minutes. Afterwards, a roughly 25-minute interactive segment invites participants to explore the world of letters themselves. Thus, children's literature becomes a shared space of experience, where language feeling, imagination, and joy in storytelling come together.

The library as a cultural meeting point

From 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, the City and State Library opens its doors. Visitors can read, linger, explore the library spaces, and enjoy the free cultural program. The cultural showcase is created in collaboration with KulturMachtPotsdam and sees the library as an open place for education, encounter, and cultural participation.

The reading atmosphere remains consciously low-threshold: families encounter literature without admission fees and without registration requirements. Between shelves, the children's world, and the event hall, an intimate atmosphere emerges where books, stage art, and shared experiences intertwine.

Conclusion: Experience literature live

The cultural showcase on October 4 offers an inspiring Sunday afternoon for families and anyone who wishes to experience language as a living art. Jördis Wölk's dynamic ABC turns Nadia Budde's book into a humorous theatrical encounter with plenty of space for participation. Those who want to not only read literature but hear, see, and creatively shape it together will find the right cultural venue at the City and State Library of Potsdam.
