From the Same Wood: Puppet Theater about Being Different

When CHILD looks up at the sky, a poetic search for their own place in the world begins at the Theater Koblenz. Ingeborg von Zadow's puppet theater piece From the Same Wood tells a story about growing up, familial expectations, and the liberating realization that not all people need to function the same way.

A Story between Cloud Views and Pressure to Conform

CHILD no longer understands the world: Something always seems wrong, and the parents are always dissatisfied. They demand conformity and ask why CHILD isn’t like them. But CHILD mainly wants one thing: to look up, to dream, and to discover their own path.

This conflict develops into a touching stage narrative about generations, friendship, and self-determination. The production is aimed at children aged eight and above, and simultaneously opens a space for families to discuss expectations, belonging, and the freedom to be different.

Puppetry as a Dramatic Engine

Director Stephan Siegfried uses various types of puppets simultaneously, making their respective physical properties into dramatic material. The construction of the characters determines what they can do, where their limits lie, and how they relate to one another. Thus, the production connects precise puppetry with a clear dramatic idea.

Set design, character direction, and acting merge into a sensual stage experience. The theater atmosphere arises from the interplay of visible craftsmanship and inner movement: What initially seems like a limitation becomes a distinctive expressiveness. The audience experiences how a unique world emerges from wood, material, and movement.

A Theater Experience for Children and Families

From the Same Wood speaks the language of puppetry while remaining close to the questions of young viewers. It’s about the joy of life, looking beyond the horizon, and the difficulty of maintaining one’s own rhythm in a world full of rules.

The development of the piece was supported by a playwright scholarship from the German Literature Fund. At the Theater Koblenz, this literary foundation meets a production that combines physical forms, characters, and play into an independent stage poetics.
