Gera (dpa/th) - For the puppet theater in Gera, the turn of the year will also be a turning point in terms of construction: construction work on the venue is scheduled to begin next year. On Wednesday evening, the ensemble wants to say goodbye to the time of the construction work with a party under the motto "Big spectacle when moving out". The construction work on the East Thuringian puppet theater, which has existed since 1967, is expected to last two years, according to earlier information from the city. The main aim is to renew fire protection and escape routes and improve the accessibility of the building. According to the city, almost four million euros are being invested from city and federal funds.
The spectators do not have to do without the ensemble during the construction work. It performs in the former restaurant in the big house of the theatre.
