We warmly invite you to a special anniversary edition of our Family Café, with a play mobile, a buffet to feast on, and ›Santa Pulcinella‹ by Théâtre Gudule – a very special musical puppet show for our youngest guests.

Together with the families of the PACT Café, we're looking back on ten years of shared experiences: crafting, dancing, creating and connecting with neighbours.

Launched in 2016, the PACT Café has grown into a lively meeting place for families from the neighbourhood and beyond. What started as an open space for newcomers to the area has become, over the past decade, a place to play, laugh, craft, dance and tell stories together. It's a place where community is brought to life, and we can't wait to celebrate ten years of it with you.

In cooperation with the children’s and family centre BLAUER ELEFANT Zollverein and the day care centre Kleiner Pütt.

Théâtre Gudule – Santa Pulcinella
Puppet theatre | Duration: approx. 30 min | für everyone aged 6 and above | without words

After centuries of laughter and open fights on the market places, Pulcinella is back! Fed up with being screwed, Pulcinella will bring out the heavy artillery for the pleasure of young and old. A series of incredible accidents, a chase on the border between laughter and the macabre, ›Santa Pulcinella‹ revives once again this emblematic and timeless character of the popular tradition.​​​​​​​

Zwei Handpuppen stehen auf einer kleinen, erhöhten Bühne mit dunklem Hintergrund. Links befindet sich eine Figur mit weißem Gewand, gelber Mütze und blauem Bommel, rechts eine graue, tierähnliche Puppe mit zotteligem Fell. Die Bühne ist aus Holz gefertigt und mit roten Stoffbahnen dekoriert.
