Bench-Time Stories

BENCH-TIME STORIES is a non-verbal one-man show FOR ADULTS, performed with string marionettes. Bence Sarkadi shows off an impressive array of skills with his hand made marionettes, combining humor, solemnity and surprising plot twists in a cycle of short stories. The show is a culmination of 23 years of experience gained as a puppet maker and performer.

The performance is centered around different benches where characters meet, fall in love, fight their battles or cherish their childhood memories. From the most banal boy-meets-girl sketch, through a clash of world-class football coaches, to a tale about the loss of identity, BENCH-TIME STORIES is a show that gives a unique glimpse into how relationships, fortunes and complete lives can pivot around an ordinary bench.
