Animatus is an international contest for the concept and realization of a puppet, animated object or other theatrical form, which is initiated by the Theatre of Actor and Puppet “Kubuś” in Kielce (Poland) in 2018.
The project is carried out in cooperation with the Center of Polish Sculpture in Orońsko, the Design Institute in Kielce and the Toy and Fun Museum in Kielce and aims to find new forms of expression in the field of puppet theater (including puppet theater for adults) and supporting innovative stage design projects.
The main idea of the event is exploring the theatrical form in confrontation with the development of new technologies and various aesthetic concepts, so the competition has got an is interdisciplinary character.
The competition task is to prepare the original design of a puppet/ animated object / theater form, intended to be used in a theatrical etude or performance. The deadline for submitting applications and projects, info@animatuscontest.pl, expires on the 20th of August 2019.
Each of the winners will receive an award of 1100 Euro and will take part in artistic residency, within which they will carry out their competition project.
We hope that “Animatus” will be an attractive challenge for artists, enabling them to develop and create creative explorations. We invite you to participate in the competition!

As we all know that Indian culture and traditions are so unique and oldest in the history of humans.
India is the land of different religion,caste, Creed, languages and the talent.,no need to say this that Asian culture of India is still progressive and following the concept of वासुदेवय कटुम्बक ”’whole world is a family”’.
We are so agar to perform one of the Ancient puppet Art of Indian named ‘Kathputli’ which means ‘Kath’ refers to the wooden and ‘Putli’ refers to the things made up of it. It is an art which is in India from the civilization like Indus valley civilization was used for the means for the entertainment and in the medieval period it is considering as the important means for making brain washing art and at the same time to teach a historical event, also making people aware about social issues in the freedom struggle of India from the Britishers. But now a days due to emerging of mass media and advance communication this unique art is considered about to extinct.
We are making our people aware and using the youth as a manpower so that young generation will remain connected from this art without forgetting its importance and glory. We are performing from last 5 years in ”””Thailand Harmony World Puppet Festival””’ & Phuket Harmony World Puppet Festival””’
So now this time with a lot of experience we want to get a chance to perform in your upcoming event endangered puppet Art of India on the world largest puppet stage.
Waiting for your positive response.
