Kyiv Municipal Academic Puppet Theater

Kyiv Municipal Academic Puppet Theater is a puppet theater in the eastern part of the city that uses traditional and contemporary puppet techniques. The venue operates with a professional team of puppeteers and actors who present a range of performances throughout the year.

The theater was founded on October 31, 1983, and quickly became a central institution for puppet arts and education in the Ukrainian capital. Its academic status reflects its importance in developing and maintaining this art form.

The theater presents shows that blend Ukrainian folk tales with international stories, appealing to audiences of all ages. Puppeteers craft their performances to speak to both children and adults in the crowd.

The theater is located on Myropilska Street and is easily reached by public transport. Tickets can be reserved at the box office or by phone, with performances scheduled mainly on weekends and school holidays.

Each December the theater transforms into a celebration space with special puppet performances focused on Ukrainian winter traditions. These seasonal shows draw families looking to mark the end of the year with puppet artistry.
