When the cat ignites pre-Christmas joy: Pettersson and Findus on stage
The Hof Theater invites you to a wintry stage experience for the whole family: Pettersson, the reclusive farmer, and his lively cat Findus celebrate the magic of friendship, ingenuity, and togetherness – just in time for Advent. The theatrical atmosphere in the Great Hall, the clear acoustics, and a lovingly designed lighting mood create a warm, intimate experience for young audiences.
The magic of the stage with heart: Dramaturgy and direction
Director Jasmin Sarah Zamani unfolds the beloved picture book characters in a playful-poetic production that combines pace and tenderness. The stage and costumes by Aylin Kaip embrace the detail-loving world of Sven Nordqvist: wood, fabric, winter colors, and small, humorous props contribute to the storytelling. The dramaturgy (Zuzana Masaryk, Denison Silva) confidently guides through the action arc of a Christmas that nearly falls apart – and yet succeeds.
From picture book classic to theater experience
The stories of the Swedish author and illustrator Sven Nordqvist have shaped generations of children since the 1980s. On stage, they unleash their full sensory potential: audience reactions range from bubbling laughter at Findus' escapades to silent wonder as the stage transforms into a festive home. The performance rights are held by the Bühnenverlag Weitendorf in Hamburg – a quality seal for careful stage adaptations.
Light, space, rhythm: Hands-on theater craftsmanship
The production works with clear spatial transitions, precise lighting design, and musical accents that build and release the tension of small adventures. Short scenes, rhythmic transitions, and pointed gags hold the children's attention without losing the poetic warmth of the source material. This results in a lively, age-appropriate dramaturgy that also touches adults.
Discover barrier-free: Touch Tour
For blind and visually impaired visitors, the Hof Theater offers a Touch Tour. Before the performance, the stage set, costumes, and props can be explored tactilely – an invitation to experience theater with all senses. Participation is free with a valid ticket; prior registration is required.

Conclusion
A atmospheric pre-Christmas theater that combines humor and warmth.

Secure your seats in time – this celebration of light, sound, and imagination will remain memorable.
