Azerbaijan State Puppet Theatre

The history of professional puppet theatre in Azerbaijan dates back to 1931. The theatre presented its first performance titled “Circus” in April 1932.

The building where the theatre is located was put into operation in June 1910 and functioned as a cinema called “Phenomenon.” It is considered the first cinematograph building constructed in Baku. The building was designed in the Renaissance style based on the project of the Polish architect Józef Płoszko.

It should also be noted that the theatre’s current repertoire includes 46 performances, four of which are intended for adult audiences. Performances are staged every week on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
