A delicate stage experience about being different, courage, and transformation

With Swans, a puppet theater evening will be staged on September 29, 2026, at KUBIZ Unterhaching, transforming the familiar fairy tale of the ugly duckling into a poetic, wordless stage art. The production by Eva Sotriffer is aimed at children aged 4 and over, and at families who want to experience theater not just as a visual spectacle, but as an atmosphere, rhythm, and imagery.

When a story silently grows larger

The subject is well-known, yet the theatrical emphasis brings it to life anew: A duckling that seems to fit nowhere becomes caught in a chain of exclusion, loneliness, and rejection. From this very struggle, the piece draws its strength. The almost wordless playing style opens the perspective to character work, music, and rhythm, allowing the stage experience to unfold immediately and without linguistic barriers.

Puppet theater with fine dramatic precision

Eva Sotriffer is not only responsible for the production but also for the concept, design, and performance. This artistic signature shapes the dramaturgy: clearly guided, concentrated, and visually powerful. The music by Max Castlunger sets accents, carries emotions, and gives the evening a vibrant sound that noticeably influences audience reactions, especially in children's and family theater.

The power of images and the warmth of theater

In puppet theater, magic often arises from small movements, shifts of light, and the breath between two gestures. Swans employs exactly this quality. The piece questions beauty and ugliness, self-image, and belonging, without appearing pedagogical. Instead, it relies on poetic condensation, empathy, and a finely balanced shift between lightness and inner tension.

A family piece with depth

The recommendation for the production for everyone aged 4 and over is more than just an age indication. It is a signal of its accessibility and sensitive form. The performance lasts about 45 minutes without an intermission, thus remaining compact, focused, and ideal for young viewers. At the same time, it provides enough substance for adults interested in an intelligent, stylish children's and family production.

A venue with cultural profile

KUBIZ Unterhaching serves as a familiar setting for family events and theater appointments in the southern part of Munich. The event takes place at Jahnstraße 1, 82008 Unterhaching. Tickets are sold through an external provider, with the presale starting at 6.00 euros per ticket. For wheelchair seats and accompanying person details, the event environment entry specifies additional regulations at KUBIZ.

Conclusion: A quiet piece that lingers long

Swans promises no loud spectacle but a sensitive stage experience with poetic imagery, music, and a touching story about self-discovery. Anyone wanting to experience theater as a sensual encounter with character art, emotion, and imagination should not miss this date.
