Performances
In all its productions, Karromato seeks to communicate without words, relying on humour, music and the expressiveness of its puppets. The handcrafted puppets, the use of wood and the meticulous attention to every detail create a unique atmosphere that transports the audience into a world of imagination, tradition and beauty.
A remarkable collection of Czech puppet theatres, marionettes and stage designs from the first half of the 20th century. It brings together more than 300 marionettes, around twenty puppet theatres and stage designs by prominent Czech artists, showcasing the tradition of puppet theatre for families, schools and amateur enthusiasts.
We bring the world of puppet theatre directly to schools, festivals, cultural centres and other events. Participants create their own puppets, discover how to bring them to life, and work together to prepare a short performance. We offer workshops in paper puppetry, puppet theatre and shadow theatre, tailored to different age groups and audiences.
