13th Puppet Fair Festival in Sofia 

For the first time in Bulgaria! We brought our ballad "The Erlkönig" to the International Festival for Street and Puppet Theater. At the "I AM STUDIO," our 360° Virtual Puppetry captivated curious eyes. We are grateful to have been part of this multifaceted spectacle of theatrical art! 

Figura Theatre Festival in Baden

With “The Erlkönig” in our luggage, we traveled to the 16th edition of the Figura Theater Festival in Switzerland. The festival offered a fantastic program and numerous inspiring conversations with colleagues. 
A particular highlight was the awarding of the "Grünschnabel" Prize for young puppet theater. Our heartfelt congratulations to Moritz Praxmarer for the well-deserved recognition for "The Story of Larry." 

50th International Summer Theatre Festival in Zvolen

The International Summer Theater Festival is the oldest open-air theater festival in Slovakia. In June 2024 we were invited to join the tradition of presenting innovation with our 360° Virtual Puppetry. Afterwards, our director, Monika, gave a detailed podcast interview.

Festival in Teatr Lalek

We were invited to the 7th edition of the New Children's Theater in Wroclaw in April 2024. Performances, under the motto "New Theater" for children and young people, were invited. And for the first time in Poland, we were allowed to show our 2nd ballad "Die Goldgräber" with regard to "Contemporary dramaturgy and innovative forms of staging".

25th International Puppet Festival "Golden Sparkle" Kragujevac (SRB)

In May 2024, we took our Virtual Puppetry to Serbia! It was an incredible experience. A large festival in a medium-sized city with a massive audience. A heartfelt thank you to our new friends in Kragujevac, Serbia!

In competition for the Kurzsuechtig Festival Leipzig

In April 2024, the Central German short film festival “Kurzsuechtig” celebrated its 21st edition in Leipzig. We were nominated in the “VR & AR” competition and were allowed to present ourselves to the jury and later to the audience. Hania and Dominique gave their best... and... took second place! :)

International Scientific Conference in Wroclaw

Art and technology come together here! During the three days of this international conference in November 2023, our puppeteer Hanna Daniszewska and dramaturge Dominique Suhr were not only able to show our VR productions to the (specialist) audience, but were also able to enjoy a variety of exciting lectures and performances. 

Call us VR pioneers!

Boundless theater: We were on tour in the Czech Republic in November 2023! We were invited to perform at several festivals, including SPECTACULO INTERESSE in Ostrava, FESTIVAL RADOSTI in Brno and PŘELET NAD LOUTKÁŘSKÝM HNÍZDEM in Prague!
Děkujeme!

34th Fira de Titelles de Lleida

We still can't believe that we were able to take part in the 34th edition of the international puppet festival ‘Fira de Titelles de Lleida’. With the Erlkönig and our project ‘360° Virtual Puppetry’ in our luggage, the long journey to Spain was definitely worth it. Nos vemos pronto!

Synchronizing - Check!

We have dubbed both of our VR productions into English. This makes the pieces more accessible to an international audience and allows us to reach people all over the world. As soon as the VR glasses can be ordered with English dubbing, we will let you know here!

How does the ordering process work?

To make the ordering process of our VR glasses even easier, we now have an explanatory video that shows step by step how the ordering process works with us. From one click to the return of the glasses, everything is visually summarized. Take a look!
