This masterpiece of unsurpassed Puppeteer satirizes faulty performers and addresses both children and adults.
An Unusual Concert is some kind of a revue. Here we laugh not at genres, but at such actors who spoil these genres by their poor performance, - says Sergey Obraztsov. Created by an outstanding Russian director, An Unusual Concert is the most well known doll performance (puppet-show) of the XX century, the unique phenomenon of world theatrics. Premiere took place in 1946 - and its triumphal procession has begun with this moment all over the planet.
The show demonstrates rather complicated puppeteering technique. For example, there is a dancing couple whose tango movements require the skill of seven puppeteers.
