A Sunday full of imagination: Kabuff invites young visitors to the Cultural Showcase

On Sunday, November 15, 2026, the City and State Library of Potsdam will open its doors for the Cultural Showcase Sundays in the Library!. At 2 PM, the participatory theater Kabuff – A Magical Experience for Young Audiences will begin in the Children's World. The event combines cultural education, shared play, and a lively reading atmosphere for children of preschool age.

A stage design that invites exploration

At the center of Kabuff is the theme of home. An imaginative landscape of high-rise buildings, living and kitchen rooms, a bunk bed, moving boxes, and carpets transforms the space into a walkable theater world. The stage design consists of recycled cardboard and becomes a play partner itself: it can be touched, entered, reshaped, and even made to sound.

Participatory theater for little cultural explorers

The production is aimed at children of preschool age from four years old. Instead of a purely passive performance, an immediate literary and theatrical experience arises that actively involves young viewers. Characters, spaces, and materials open up a playful access to questions surrounding security, coexistence, and the significance of having a home.

Language art, movement, and cultural education

Kabuff connects narrative elements with physical play and sensory perception. The closeness to the audience creates an intimate atmosphere where theater is not only observed but experienced. In the cultural discourse on children's rights, the format makes a clear statement: it makes the right to a home tangible through the means of language, scene, material, and collective imagination.

The library as a vibrant cultural venue

The Cultural Showcase of the City and State Library of Potsdam is open on Sundays from 1 PM to 5 PM, inviting visitors to read, linger, gather information, and enjoy culture. In cooperation with KulturMachtPotsdam, an open program for families and culture enthusiasts is being created. The library becomes a meeting place where media, theater, and cultural participation intertwine.

Conclusion: Theater to touch and participate in

Visitors can expect a fantastical theater format with Kabuff that takes young people seriously and directly appeals to their imagination. Anyone who wants to experience an inspiring Sunday afternoon filled with language art, movement, and collective discovery should visit the Cultural Showcase live. Admission is free, and registration is not required.
