German term or phrase: Materialtheater
No further context but plenty of references in German via Google. Anyone know what this is called in English? I doubt very much it's "material theatre" even though it gets some hits.

Explanation:
See http://www.albrecht-roser.de/00015.html - the term seems to be a (partial) synonym to Puppentheater and Marionettentheater.

Amongst other types of theatre, it's about puppets on strings here, I might think - see also http://www.figurentheater-bw.de/content/07.html (which leads me to suggest "object theatre" - not only puppets involved here).
