The "small automation theatre", a fully automated puppet theatre, plays for you anytime at the push of a button! It tells the story of the Princess (who wants to move to Berlin after her art studies and can't find a flat), the Kasperle (a traditional German puppeteering character, who tells us quite a bit about automation), the rent-crocodile and the Wohnungsbot (who has to realize that there are not technological solutions to social problems). The stage adaptation of the software success "Wohnungsbot" (https://wohnungsbot.de/), now at Congress!

Plays around the clock, 17 minutes, no interval, German with optional English subtitles.
