Description of the attraction

The State Academic Central Puppet Theater of S. V. Obraztsov was established on the initiative of the House of Artistic Education of Children in September 1931. The creator of the theater was Sergei Vladimirovich Obraztsov, an outstanding figure of Russian culture. The theater employed only 12 people. The theater was assigned specific tasks: educational, pedagogical and the task of developing the puppet genre. The theater has become a kind of laboratory for S. Obraztsov and his small team.

The theater did not have its own stage. A theater car with actors drove around the city and gave performances in courtyards, schools, palaces of culture and parks. The theater carried out two or three new productions a year. Spectators watched with pleasure the puppet performance "Circus on the Stage". In April 1932, the premiere of the propaganda performance "Jim and the Dollar" was successfully held. The theater was looking for its own repertoire. Experts worked on new designs of dolls and stage equipment, worked on the style of performances.

The theater toured a lot. Under his influence, puppet theaters were created in Bulgaria, Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary. In 1970 the theater moved to a new building on the Garden Ring.
