Truly Invented Fairy Tales

In order to expand the offer of the Glasi in an exciting way, we conceived and realized a mechanical theater. The fairy tale "Znirp and Nisseznirp" is a characteristic work, which has a strong charisma until today. Many famous fairy tales refer to glass. From the Frog Prince to Hans in Luck, from the genie in the bottle to the Bremen Town Musicians, we have trawled through the Grimm fairy tales for scenes with glass and put them together to form a new story. The result is a full-fledged fairy tale that is completely different, however. It brings together what has never been brought together before. And this as a mechanical theater: The setting of the Glasi fairy tale is lovingly built and painted by hand. What a jewel!
