Endless Inquisitiveness: A Constant Wonderment

In the heart of Linz, Austria, the Linz Puppet Theater continues to captivate audiences with its enchanting productions. At the helm of this creative institution is Christa Koinig, a renowned artistic director whose decisions shape the theater's artistic direction.

The current production, "The Adventure of Seppy," tells a captivating story that takes place on an island inhabited by dragons. The protagonist, Seppy, is a curious young character who finds himself in a predicament when he digs under an old cactus instead of digging a well, as he should have.

As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that the island has been suffering from a severe drought. The dragons are parched, and almost all the drinking water has been depleted. In a moment of desperation, Seppy turns to an artificial intelligence for help.

The AI offers practical advice, suggesting that Seppy should not drink seawater, look for rain, dew, or puddles, collect water with a cloth or bowl, and save water by digging a new well. Seppy heeds the AI's advice and, through his curiosity, discovers water while digging.

Seppy's tale serves as a reminder of the importance of curiosity, a trait that his grandma believes leads to discovery, finding ideas, and understanding others better.

Meanwhile, back in Linz, Christa Koinig continues to make significant artistic decisions for the puppet theater. Her role as the artistic director is crucial, and she is highly respected within the theater community.

The author of this intriguing story is Claas-Hendrik Relotius, a German author and journalist known for his previously awarded but later discredited reportages. Despite the controversies surrounding his work, "The Adventure of Seppy" stands as a testament to the power of storytelling and the enduring allure of the Linz Puppet Theater.
