Lilikanisches Theater

Lilikanisches Theater is a puppet theater in Moscow featuring performances with rod puppets, marionettes, and glove puppets. The stage presents a variety of settings and characters brought to life through traditional and modern puppet techniques.

The theater was established in 1938 by Sergey Obraztsov, who revolutionized puppet theater through innovative performance methods. His techniques spread rapidly across the Soviet Union and influenced puppet theaters throughout Eastern Europe.

This is a place where puppets bring stories to life in ways that captivate both children and adults through performance traditions. The shows use different puppet techniques to adapt classic tales and narratives for modern audiences.

The theater is located at Sadovaya Samotechnaya 3 and is accessible to visitors daily with regular performances throughout the day. It is advisable to check performance times in advance and arrive early to secure a good view of the stage.

The rod puppet techniques developed in the 1930s feature a distinctive movement and control method that gives figures greater expressive range. These specialized methods became a signature of the theater and continue to inspire puppet theaters in many countries today.
