Theater for those who still believe in miracle
Theater for those who still believe in miracle
We try, we experiment, we invent, we live and hope that the best performances are still ahead of us!
There are no boundaries in puppet theater. Puppets can be of different control systems, they can be small and fit in the palm of your hand or huge and do not fit on the theater stage, they can sing and dance, love and hate, compose poetry, but in the puppet theater there's always an actor behind them, and a puppet is an instrument as complex as a violin or a flute. And theater is an orchestra in which every member is irreplaceable. We try, we experiment, we invent, we live and hope that the best performances are still ahead of us!

Don Quixote
01 november 2024
as part of the Surround Festival at the Hanut Theater
While composing a play about the great idealist, dreamer and wandering knight Don Quixote, we are trying to figure out who we are: the authors of our own destiny, or ready to follow the author and be his faithful squire. Our instrument is the puppet. We invent their character, look for plasticity, compose their world and space, learn to control them. Or maybe it's them who are trying to control us? We are looking for a way of living as puppet, as actor, as object
Are you Don Quixote or Sancho Panzo?
based on the novel “The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha” by Miguel de Cervantes, as well as plays by Mikhail Bulgakov and Evgeny Shvarts
