Figurentheater Wilde & Vogel

The German Figurentheater Wilde & Vogel was founded in 1997 by the puppeteer Michael Vogel (graduate of Department for Puppetry Stuttgart) and the musician Charlotte Wilde as a professional freelance touring company based in Stuttgart, since 2009 in Leipzig. In 2003 Wilde & Vogel co-founded the Lindenfels Westflügel Leipzig, where they organize events and work as artistic directors.

She is also responsible for the management and production. Michael Vogel studied puppetry in Prague at Milos Kirschner's Spejbl & Hurvínek theatre and then at the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Stuttgart, where he also taught from 1998 to 2006.
