The Dream Eater gives children courage for the night

When the winter twilight begins outside, the gate to the land of dreams opens at the Koblenz theater. In Michael Ende's fairy tale, the audience aged four and up experiences a lovingly designed puppet theater about bad dreams, childhood fears, and the comforting power of shared imagination.

A journey into the mysterious land of dreams

Princess Sleepyhead cannot fall asleep because she is plagued by bad dreams. Her father, the king, embarks on a long search for help. His journey takes him over long paths, high mountains, and the sea until he finally encounters a very special being: the Dream Eater. He particularly enjoys eating bad dreams – and thus an unusual friendship develops.

Child-friendly theater about fears and security

The shadow play based on Michael Ende combines fairy tale images, puppet theater, and a heartfelt narration. Children encounter their own worries in a safe, imaginative environment. The story conveys in an age-appropriate manner that fears can be expressed and that shared support provides courage.

Astonishment, children's laughter, and learning fun

The family experience invites careful listening, observing, and empathizing. Shadows, figures, and the mysterious atmosphere stimulate children's imagination. At the same time, a valuable learning experience arises around feelings, trust, sleep rituals, and dealing with uncertainty. Parents enjoy shared time while children curiously dive into a fantastic theater world.
