From November 2 to November 6, 2018 St. Petersburg Bolshoi Puppet Theater (BTK) is holding its fifth International Festival “BTK-FEST: The Theatre of Contemporary Puppets”.
In honor of its first anniversary we decided to refuse from any theme for this year's edition, instead we approached the selection of participants much more ambitiously. Festival venues, lecture rooms, shows and puppets will be divided into two equal parts – macro and micro. The big stage of Bolshoi Puppet Theater will remain the biggest festival venue whereas the smallest one, which will be several centimeters in three dimensions, can't seat even one spectator. Thus viewers will have to look at shows through a peephole and other optical devices in turns and one by one.

According to the tradition, the festival has something to offer for spectators of all ages. Mainly in the anniversary year there will be foreign guests. Furthermore, according to the authors' wish on the stage there will be puppets and unknown playing objects.
SPECIAL WARNING: due to the specific character of this year's edition the organizers can't guarantee that all festival venues will seat everyone. Therefore purchase your tickets in advance!
