Between Earth and Sky
When was the last time you allowed yourself to dream of flying?
This performance is a multi-layered artistic piece that speaks directly to the heart of everyone—children and adults alike.
It is the story of a young boy gazing at the sky, eager to fly; a music-box ballerina longing for freedom; a little puppet who doesn't believe in her own strength; and a 92-year-old woman waiting for the wind to set her free.
A captivating journey about fear, courage, and the longing for freedom, where we discover a surprising blue box and many ways to fly.
The show offers a unique visual experience: the actors on stage are intricate, finely handcrafted puppets (mostly made of wood, but not only). During the performance, they even step into the audience, wandering among the viewers with the utmost sensitivity.
This is classic puppet theater that combines timeless innocence with immense charm—performed entirely without words, accompanied by touching music.

Roses Alley - a Marionette Show
This performance is a magical collection of short vignettes taking place on Roses Alley. In this charming alley, we meet a colorful array of surprising characters—a gardener who discovers a surprise in his garden, a kind painter searching for inspiration, a nimble sheep, a fancy cow, a spirited flyer, and an expressive dancer—all revolving around one very special rose.
During the show, some of the puppets venture out to wander among the audience, with the utmost sensitivity and tailored to the crowd.
