Description
The Mostar Puppet Theater performed its first performance in 1952 as "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" as the City Puppet Theater Mostar. That was the first bud, the first flower, of mostarkoglutkarstva. And the roots of puppetry go back even further. Namely, the first puppet shows appeared in Mostar in the middle of the 19th century, when traveling troupes from Central Europe, Vojvodina, Croatia and the Orient performed dramatic and then puppet shows.
The first puppet show was Karadžoz. Mostar immediately embraced and loved the art of puppetry. So already in 1939, near the Sokol parish, a puppet theater was established in which Đorđe Bovan was the actor, director and organizer.
