Papillons
Inspired by Jean Paul's novel Flegeljahre, Schumann composed his piano cycle Papillons in 1829, in which he musically traces the rivalry struggle of two brothers for a girl. In Thomas Reichert's staging, the main characters are simple, purposeless puppets who bring to the stage a lively "fluttering of confusion at a carnival ball" (Robert Schumann).

Die Spielzeugschachtel
In 1913 Debussy became enthusiastic about the libretto of André Hellé's puppet ballet. The tragicomic love drama La boite à joujoux inspired Debussy to write a ballet music in four pictures full of fantasy and humor. In Hinrich Horstkotte's production, the wooden soldier, the puppet and the frivolous Pulcinella come to life by means of a wide variety of puppetry techniques.
