Presentation

Puppet Spring is a meeting of puppet theaters from Croatia and the diaspora. It is held regularly in the week before Holy Week and the Easter holiday. It lasts five days (from Monday to Friday). The original founders are the Asser Savus Theater Company and the City Puppet Theater from Rijeka.

All professional puppet theaters from Croatia and the diaspora participate, as well as private puppet theaters and puppet associations that deal with artistic stage puppetry. The theaters come with performances of their own choice, and they are valorized by the Organizing Committee made up of the founders of the Puppet Spring: Croatian Center UNIMA, Vukovar-Srijem County, HDDU and Asser Savus Theater Company.

The concept of the Meeting is working. Performances are performed in various venues – centers of culture, school halls, pastoral centers and classrooms – in various cities and municipalities of the Vukovar-Srijem County. Since 2008, charters have been awarded for lifetime achievement – a charter for contribution to the art of Croatian puppetry and a charter for contribution to the acting art of Croatian puppetry.
