The puppet theatre's 2023-24 season exhibitions are fine art experiments with materials, colours and surfaces, with everything that can come to life on the puppet stage. The primary goal of the exhibitions is to draw children's attention to the immeasurable freedom of the puppet universe in an empirical way. The second episode of this year's exhibition series, Expressions of Colours, opened its doors on the 1st of December in the exhibition space of the Vojtina Puppet Theater at Kálvin Square and can be visited until the 28th of January, 2024.

Citing the works of social psychologist György Csepeli, she added the expressive power of colours had determined people's lives for centuries and thousands of years. Together, these two can be fulfilled in the world of children, who, due to their age, now marvel at the world's beauty because beauty is the most special of all the values of life. The […]
