A poetic winter fairy tale with humor, warmth, and puppet magic
When Theater Zitadelle comes to Potsdam with Olaf, the Moose, childlike imagination meets precise puppet artistry. The play, based on the children's book by Volker Kriegel, tells the story of a moose who becomes an outsider due to his oversized antlers, until a fateful encounter with a one-eyed Santa Claus changes everything. For people aged 4 and up, it creates an atmospheric stage experience full of humor, tenderness, and winter enchantment.

Figures that tell more than words
The production thrives on that special signature for which Theater Zitadelle is known: precise puppetry, situational comedy, and a visual language that also touches adults. The production has already been described as humorous and imaginative; at the same time, the theater work of the ensemble emphasizes a mix of fantasy, irony, and emotional depth. It is precisely from this that the evening derives its quiet power.

A forest full of sound, rhythm, and quiet crises
Olaf stands on the outskirts of the community because his form does not fit into the order of the forest. From this simple starting point, a dramaturgically clear story about self-assertion, friendship, and the dignity of being different emerges. The performance lasts about 50 minutes, with no breaks, and is aimed at young viewers as well as accompanying adults who appreciate fine theater atmosphere and clever puppet theater.
