Introduction and History of Teater Marionett

Teater Marionett is an Estonian puppet theatre founded in 1962. Based at the Salme Cultural Centre in Tallinn, it is known for its performances featuring marionettes — puppets controlled by strings. The theatre’s repertoire includes classic fairy tales as well as musical and visually playful productions.

Teater Marionett is not only the only continuously operating marionette theatre in Estonia, but also the only one in the surrounding region, making it a unique attraction for theatre lovers of all ages.

The theatre originated thanks to Hilda Kon, the director of the Tallinn Leather and Footwear Production Association “Kommunaar,” who in 1962 invited RAT “Estonia” soloist Harri Vasara to lead a puppet club being created at the factory.
