      ✨ Demmeni Marionette Theatre

      Невский пр., 52

      The oldest professional puppet theatre in Russia, right on Nevsky by Gostiny Dvor: daytime marionette shows for children aged 4 and up, and backstage theatre tours.

      • The theatre was founded in 1918 and is considered the first professional puppet theatre in Russia.
      • It is named after Evgenia Demmeni — a director and artist who led the theatre for many years and staged marionette shows.
      • Marionettes are string puppets: the performer controls them from above with a vaga — a wooden cross-piece.
      • Besides shows, the theatre runs a children's tour, “A Journey to the Magical Land of Puppets”.
