A puppet mystery full of elegance, tension, and Poirot flair

With "The Yellow Iris," a cleverly constructed puppet theater guest performance comes to Karlsruhe, translating Agatha Christie suspense into concentrated imagery. The case leads Monsieur Poirot from a memory in New York to the London restaurant "Jardin des Cygnes" – and unfolds exactly the nervous precision for which the master detective is famous. Six carved puppets give shape to the plot: Poirot, a young girl, a South American dancer, and three suspicious gentlemen form a dense chamber play full of suspicion and atmosphere. The performance takes place on September 17, 2026, at 7:30 PM at the Hermann-Jung-Haus in Karlsruhe; doors open at 7 PM.

Agatha Christie as puppet theater with a fine edge

The source material originates from the universe of Agatha Christie and thrives on the typical structure of memory, repetition, and deception. Particularly in puppet theater, this dramaturgy unfolds a special sharpness: Every movement, every line of sight, and every pause becomes part of the investigation. That Dornerei is working on a new Christie mystery for adults and has developed the piece as a guest performance with great care underscores the commitment to craftsmanship and stage art.

When carving art becomes suspense

The six puppets give the mystery an almost physical presence. The events condense in the interplay of lighting mood, acoustics, and puppet handling into a stage experience that reveals rather than explains. Particularly appealing is the doubling of the setting: restaurant, memory, return. This creates a theater atmosphere in which the audience feels very close to Poirot's thought process – attentive, suspicious, fascinated.
