World Puppetry Day at Oradea as well

World Puppetry Day, comes every March 21. The idea came from the puppet theater In 2000 at the XVIII Congress of the Union Internationale de la Marionnette, (UNIMA) in Magdeburg. Two years later, at a meeting of the International Council of UNIMA in June 2002 in Atlanta, the date of the celebration was identified. In 2014 Hungarian-speaking puppeteers seek to initiate a new tradition by presenting productions from several countries in unusual settings, to highlight the versatility of the art form.The event series hopes to arouse interest in puppetry in Hungarian and its variety, the creative communities and the independent companies, the veterans and the latest generation. This day is set to be a celebration of puppet theatres in Hungary and elsewhere, with about 30 companies already participating in the initiative. The productions will intentionally have the character of happenings or street theatre. The Lilliput Company celebrates the Puppetry Day at the local ZOO.
