Serafima, Artistic Director of Tricktrek theater from Estonia speaks to Jo Tomalin about her show Kuthi at the Off dans les rues at the Festival Mondial des Théâtres de Marionnettes (FMTM) at Charleville-Mézières, France, 19 to 28 September, 2025.
“Tricktrek theater is a unique family project. The Tricktrek is Serafima, Alexander and Luka. The peculiarity of the theater is the use of complex mechanical objects and original stage mechanisms. This is a theater where art and engineering come together to create a breathtaking spectacle. The theatre actively travels around the world, participating in international festivals.
Tricktrek have two wooden mechanical puppet shows:
“Crocodile” is a funny story for children from 4 to 10 years old. The performance is in Russian. It can be ordered for any event.
And “Kuthi” is an unfunny, and maybe even a scary story about the siege of the castle by the raven warriors. The performance is for children and adults from 6 years old. Without words.”
