Horror Puppet Theater based on Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein
A chilling tale about the confines and madness of the human mind. It tells the story of a small, old man who lives alone in the isolation of his four walls. In his naivety, driven by a yearning for closeness and security, he conducts horrifying experiments. He has long since lost his grip on reality. Along with this – his innocence.

*MINIATURE PUPPET THEATER MOŽ!
When Covid-19 affected our perception, we created the project Miniature puppet theater MOŽ!, where we explore themes of isolation and mental illness. The main character is named MOŽ!. Everything that happens, happens with him and at the same time because of him. The goal of the miniature puppet theater MOŽ! is to explore the peculiar and beautiful way in which MOŽ! perceives the world from his isolated room. The literary foundation for the theater’s projects is Gothic literature (Dracula, The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Frankenstein). The exploration of an isolated mind in the first show (MOŽ! sit with me) directly led to the exploration of the frightening and dreadful depths of human nature in the puppet opera Drakula. The ultimate goal is achieved when MOŽ! in the final piece of the trilogy (Viktor F!) creates his friend – when he himself creates new puppet life.
