The Mostar Puppet Theater performed its first show back in 1952 “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” as the City Puppet Theater Mostar.That was the first bud, the first flower, of Mostar Puppetry. And the roots of puppetry go back even further. Namely, the first puppet shows appeared in Mostar in the middle of the 19th century, when traveling troupes from Central Europe, Vojvodina, Croatia and the Orient performed dramatic and then puppet shows. The first puppet show was Karadžoz. Mostar immediately embraced and loved the art of puppetry. Thus, already in 1939, near Sokolska župa, a puppet theater was established in which Đorđe Bovan was the actor, director and organizer. War and destruction come to Žalost, which suppressed but did not destroy the beautiful word, culture, puppetry and art in general. This is how Mostar, by decision of the People’s Committee of the City of Mostar, established the City Puppet Theatre, the first professional institution of stage musical culture for the children of Mostar and Herzegovina. Mostar and the city began to live the dream of puppetry again.
