When Christmas comes to life as a shadow image

On December 12, 2027, the Great Hall of the Kurfürstliches Schloss in Mainz transforms into a poetic Christmas world. The multiple award-winning ensemble Moving Shadows combines light, music, and body art into an extraordinary shadow theater for young and old.

Seven bodies, countless images

Behind the screen, landscapes, animals, buildings, and fairy tale figures are created with astonishing precision. Seven artists form fleeting silhouettes from their bodies that disappear in the next moment, making way for a new scene. The dramaturgy thrives on the interplay of wonder, humor, movement, and silent moments.

A Christmas story without words

The Christmas Special tells not with long dialogues, but with shadows, music, and choreographed movement. Light moods glide across the screen like a living Advent calendar: Each scene opens a new window into a world full of wonders and dreams. The production takes a traditional form of stage art into a modern, body-focused language.

Acrobatics meets acting

Moving Shadows combines shadow play, dance, acrobatics, and pantomime into a sensual stage experience. The direction relies on the expressiveness of human bodies and the audience's imagination. It is precisely from the reduction that the special theater atmosphere emerges: One light, one screen, and the precise movement of the performers are enough for large images.

A festive stage experience for all generations

The poetic Christmas show appeals to children, adults, and experienced theatergoers alike. At times, the shadows seem light and playful, at other times fast and surprising, then again warm and touching. The result is a theater evening that fascinatingly dissolves the boundaries between dance theater, acrobatics, and visual storytelling.

Conclusion: Christmas in the magic of light

Moving Shadows invites you to an extraordinary theater evening at the Kurfürstliches Schloss Mainz. Those who want to experience the magic of shadow theater, artistic body images, and festive stage poetry live will find an impressive stage experience in this Christmas Special. Secure your tickets and let yourself be enchanted by Europe's celebrated shadow theater.
