The co-founders are the Sára siblings. Our performing and puppetry experience is based on our long-term participation at our local puppetry community. Growing up in such a creative environment we have prepared numerous plays as puppeteers, directors or screen-players. This local puppetry activity was founded and managed for 38 years by our mother, Lászlóné Sára. She was awarded by UNIMA (2001) and by the Hungarian Puppetiers Association (2008) for her work as an artist and educator. Our father, László Sára, has also had an important contribution as he has been helping for decades this puppetry activity.
