Sacrées Lumières – Christmas Show
From 19 to 28 December 2025
Festivités de Noël
Adult : €14.00 - Kid : €9.00
Wandering outdoor theatrical show – Suitable for all audiences
Immerse yourself in a family‑friendly universe blending Christmas traditions, humour and history, in an original creation by La Fabrik.
While Saint Nicholas is well known in Alsace, are you familiar with Hans Trapp, Frau Berschta or Christkindel? On Christmas Eve 1920, Frau Berschta, Christkindel, Saint Nicholas and Hans Trapp gather and hear on the radio that a figure named Santa Claus is beginning to gain prominence and might cross the Atlantic to Europe and perhaps even reach Alsace… Our protagonists then set out to meet the villagers to convince them that each of them is the spirit of Christmas. Will they succeed?
This show takes place outdoors: the houses of the museum will be closed, only the outdoor areas will be accessible.
