The Harlekin Puppet Theatre is a significant institution with a long tradition in Hungarian puppet theatre, offering high-quality, experience-rich performances for children in Eger and the surrounding region.
As many children first encounter the theatre through puppet performances, its mission is to turn these occasions into lasting cultural experiences.
Its productions appeal to every age group, from the youngest children and school-age audiences to young people; the programme also includes productions for teenagers and adults. Its repertoire brings Hungarian folk tales, classic stories from other cultures, and works of contemporary Hungarian literature to life. Its musical puppet shows are distinctive highlights of the programme, carrying Eger’s reputation to many parts of the country and beyond Hungary’s borders.
In its renewed building, a young, versatile and dedicated company welcomes audiences with a varied programme across two performance spaces.
