A touching puppet theater for families in Jena
The DRK Puppet Theater brings a sensitive family experience to the stage of the Ernst-Abbe Library in Jena with "What's Wrong with Grandpa?". On Tuesday, September 22, 2026, at 4:00 PM, children from an early age will experience a short, age-appropriate puppet theater revolving around the theme of dementia – understandable, empathetic, and close to the world of families.
Why this children's event is so valuable
The play lasts about 30 minutes and explains a difficult topic in a child-friendly way. This format creates a safe space for families with children, where questions, feelings, and first learning experiences can be expressed. Thus, a calm cultural offering with real educational value emerges.
A place for shared time and learning experiences
The Ernst-Abbe Library in Jena is one of the modern, family-friendly cultural venues in the city. The library offers, according to its own statements, an open, barrier-free, and child-friendly environment with areas for children, teenagers, and adults. For families, this means: a relaxed place to visit where learning and experiencing come together.
What families should know in advance
The event takes place without prior registration and admission is free. This makes the date particularly suitable for families looking for a spontaneous cultural offering. The theme of dementia is conveyed empathetically, so that children are gently introduced to an important life reality.
Conclusion: A small event with great impact
Those looking for a calm, meaningful, and family-friendly children's offering in Jena will find a strong reading and theater experience with heart here. The puppet theater combines children's laughter with contemplation, strengthens understanding for other people, and invites families to a shared, valuable time. Anyone wanting to experience dementia explained in a child-friendly way should attend this event live with their family.
