About this place
The Kharkiv Puppet Theater was opened in 1939. It was the city’s first theater, with only 20 employees. Only in 1952, with the arrival of artistic director Viktor Afanasiev, did the theater begin to develop, taking a leading place among the theaters of Ukraine.
The theater’s repertoire is designed for both children and adults. It stages productions based on various well-known works, popular children’s stories, and fairy tales.
