Oleksandr Dovshenko Puppet Theater, Puppet theater in Chernihiv, Ukraine.
The theater occupies a dedicated building where performers use hand puppets to present stories through a combination of acting and staging techniques.
Founded in 1976, the theater continues the traditions of vertep, a form of puppet performance that emerged in Ukraine during the 16th century.
Productions include adaptations of Ukrainian literature such as Ivan Franko's works and original creations that connect audiences with national storytelling traditions.
The theater maintains regular performances throughout the year, presenting shows for children in the morning and specialized productions for adults in the evening.
Actors perform behind curtains using hand-operated puppets instead of string marionettes, creating an immediate connection with the spectators.
