SHOWS
The Budapest Marionettes
The Budapest Marionettes is a multi-award-winning street performance that has been continuously evolving since 2007. The show features a series of short stories told through a diverse array of marionettes, each crafted with unique details and personalities.
Accompanied by music, the performance combines humor, drama, and intricate puppetry techniques, offering something new each year with the addition of fresh characters and elements. It’s entertainment for everyone—whether you’re 6 or 106.
Bench-Time Stories
Bench-Time Stories is a non-verbal one-man show for adults, performed with string marionettes. Combining humor, solemnity and surprising plot twists in a cycle of short stories.
The performance is centered around different benches where characters meet, fall in love, fight their battles or cherish their childhood memories. From the most banal boy-meets-girl sketch, through a clash of world-class football coaches, to a tale about the loss of identity, Bench-Time Stories is a show that gives a unique glimpse into how relationships, fortunes and complete lives can pivot around an ordinary bench.
