Qualitz celebrates: Cat in Boots enchants the audience!
In the small village of Qualitz, which has only 200 inhabitants, a very special puppet show was recently presented: “Cat in Boots”. Directed by Daniel Wagner, who not only plays the title role but can also be seen as other characters such as the miller's son Fritz and the evil magician Sagrotan, the approximately 70 spectators were able to immerse themselves in a magical fairytale world. The event was a highlight of the neighborhood award that the Allerhand Association awarded in 2024.

The plot of the play is based on one of the Brothers Grimm's famous fairy tales. Here it is told how the cat managed to defeat the evil wizard. In the end, it's not just the cat and her master who live happily: the king is married and the cat is proud of her role as a minister. It's exciting to see how it all began and whether it was all planned from the start. Questions about magical power and the secrets of magic were dealt with in a playful way. kultur-mv.de adds that...
Insights into the diverse world of theater
What is particularly interesting is that Daniel Wagner runs the theater in Bergmannkiez in Berlin-Kreuzberg together with his wife, Anna Wagner-Fregin. But despite his popularity throughout Germany, Wagner rarely appears in the north and especially in Berlin. His presentation in Qualitz was a rare opportunity for residents and visitors. The afternoon was also organized by Sabine Adolphi, a board member of the Allerhand Association, who held all the strings and invited the spectators to the village center to enjoy an unforgettable experience.

“I'm not a comedian,” says Wagner, who feels the pressure on his shoulders that is often placed on him in the comedic genre.
Another highlight of the performance was the presence of Dr. Heike Molkentin, a veterinarian from Schwerin, who became aware of the event through an article. Their commitment and interest in cultural events in rural areas show that such performances can radiate far beyond the village community.
Tradition and modern accents
The Luna puppet theater, which regularly offers events in this region, is also very popular. With a wide range of programs from traditional fairy tales to magic shows, the theater shows that puppetry is more than just children's entertainment. The hand puppets, created by figure designer Till de Kock, offer adventure and show that courage, wit and imagination are always in demand. The productions are suitable for the whole family and take place on mobile stages. puppentheater-luna.de informs that…
