Robber Hotzenplotz, the protagonist of a series of children’s books, is world-famous in Germany. For a traveling children’s exhibition, we translated the world of the first book, which was published in 1962, into a life-sized puppet theatre, based on the original illustrations. Lots of activities and games from grandma’s times are hidden behind and between the scenes.
