A sparkling puppet adventure full of time travel magic in the heart of Munich
On September 12, 2026, a gate opens into a colorful fantasy world at the Munich Puppet Theater: The Time Machine of Korbinian Fox combines puppet artistry, science fiction, and family entertainment into a lively stage experience. The play is suitable for children aged 6 and above, lasts about 105 minutes including a break, and belongs to those productions that immediately draw you into the game with visual power, rhythm, and fine humor.

A workshop that becomes a stage of wonders
The starting point is as clear as it is enticing: Professor Korbinian Fox is working with his assistant Rakete on a time machine while niece Fania curiously circles the mysterious invention. A moment of inattention, a missing component, a sudden start – and the story tips into a fast-paced adventure. The dramaturgy focuses on child-friendly tension, precisely sharpened scenes, and a chase that unfolds its own poetic logic in the puppet theater. The ensemble of the Munich Puppet Theater develops this puppet and figure play themselves; direction, text, and set design bear the signature of the house.

Tradition meets futuristic stage poetry
Particularly in the Munich Puppet Theater, this production gains a special contour. The house looks back on more than 165 years of tradition and is considered the world's first permanent building of its kind from the year 1900. The historical space, the intimate theater atmosphere, and the precisely guided figures create a resonance space where puppetry, light design, and stage design enhance each other. This creates a stage experience that not only tells but visibly dreams. ([muema-theater.de](https://www.muema-theater.de/))
Why this performance appeals particularly to families
The production relies on clear imagery, strong characters, and an easily accessible science fiction-fantasy tone. For young viewers, it offers an initial encounter with classic theater art in a form that connects suspense and imagination. For adults, the charm lies in the precise interplay of character direction, acoustics, costumes, and lovingly designed theater mechanics. The atmosphere remains lively and contemporary, never museum-like – a testament to how modern puppet theater can be today.
