Budapest Marionettes

THE BUDAPEST MARIONETTES is a multiple award-winning street show that brings about a range of different marionettes in a cycle of short stories accompanied by music. The show has been in continuous development since 2007 and each year it presents new elements in an ever-changing parade of unique puppet characters, impressive skills, laughter, drama and charm. THE BUDAPEST MARIONETTES, with an array of unique and inventive puppets, is an event designed to entertain audiences of all age groups (6-106 years).

Internationally acclaimed puppet master Bence Sarkadi started working with string puppets in 1999 and began touring with his one-man puppet shows in 2007. He has performed in the streets and on the stages of 6 continents and has won prestigious awards all around the world. He is the first and only Hungarian solo puppeteer to have been invited to perform two of his shows in the “IN” program of the most prestigious puppetry event in the world, at the “Festival Mondial des Théâtres de Marionnettes” in Charleville-Mézières. He was also the first ever international artist to be featured as a “super guest” in Charleville the following year.
