The puppet show was superb! I loved it! :)
Turkish and I went to the State Academic Puppet Theatre of O.V. Obraztsov at M.Svetnoi Bulvar. It was amazing! It was as entertaining for children as well as for adults, definitely. We always arrive an hour earlier to check out the place/building/area, today was no exception. We got there and it was crowded with families and their kids.
Our pre-purchased tickets ;)
Hahahahaa such old poster design for Puss In Boots
The theatre is old, its architecture is a big give away. We went to scout its Puppet Museum and every step we took came in great awe. This Obraztsov founder/puppeteer/legend was a hero. His collection of puppets and dolls from all over the world throughout the decades is the largest in Russia and one of the largest in the world. Good stuff!
Bonome and Tilapen are hand-puppets from Belgium!
Russian version of Pinocchio.. meet Buratino!
French puppet show booth, in beginning of 20th century
19th century folk puppet performance in Uzbekistan
Our very own, almost extinct wayang kulit! (shadow puppets)
Mr.Obraztsov traveled all over the world with his puppets (poster)
V for Vendetta! LOL
No surprise that the theatre was full-house. It was relatively noisy as 80% of the audience were kids. Some monkeys, some noisy ones and I suspected some of them didn't even know where they were. I think everyone is familiar with the fairy tale of Puss In Boots (forget the big-eyed kitty from Shrek) so the storyline is the same. The language is in Russian but it was easy to understand, for kids, remember? ;)
Simple yet impressive enough interiors
Turkish and I *giggles*
Snippets from the almost 1 1/2hours show
Foooooshh.. people mountain, people sea
I thought we sat a little far behind. The next time we go again, we are definitely buying front seats! The stage is huge, raised and very colourful. We saw the performance well from our seats (we sat quite behind) but I'd like to see them upclose! I think it's one thing that anyone should do before leaving Russia!
It's entertainment from the past and almost magical.
