But most importantly, there were many talented, enthusiastic children at the festival who are passionate about their work and reveal their creative potential on stage.

Boris Konstantinovartistic director of the festival, chief director of the Obraztsova Puppet Theatre: “We wanted to bring together guys who invent new worlds, revive the inanimate and give people a fairy tale. Not professionals, but those who do this at the call of the soul. In the future, they may become engineers, teachers, doctors, astronauts, but having come into contact with this kind of art in childhood, a small person becomes a person.”

Elena Bulukovadirector of the Obraztsova Puppet Theatre, co-chairman of the festival: “The main value of this festival is that amateur groups become members of the single professional theater space of the country. Children and teachers from different cities have the opportunity not only to get to know and exchange experiences with each other, but also to acquire new knowledge from stage masters.”
