Dockteatern Tittut

Dockteatern Tittut is a puppet theater in Stockholm that presents performances for children between 3 and 7 years old, combining puppets, shadow play, dance, and music together. The productions are specifically designed to support the development of young audiences.

The theater was founded in 1977 and developed specialized programs over the decades for different age groups, including dedicated performances for babies between 3 and 18 months. This made it an important center for early artistic experience in Sweden.

The performances speak to children in their own language, using simple stories to make feelings and relationships visible through action. Audiences experience how colors, music, and movement work together to help them understand new things.

The theater has a permanent stage in Stockholm and is easy to reach by public transport, while it also performs in schools and cultural centers throughout the country. The performances typically last between 20 and 30 minutes, matching the attention span of young audiences.

The theater uses a deliberate structure for storytelling, introducing elements gradually and in an even rhythm to hold the attention of toddlers. This method explains why the performances work so effectively for the youngest audiences.
