Created in Bulgaria in 1996 and based in Montreal since 2004, Puzzle Théâtre has developed a unique style that mixes various genres. Combining objects, puppets and actors, Puzzle Théâtre works with a colorful amalgam of styles and widely diverse means of expression. The company includes artistic director Pavla Mano, actor and creator Csaba Raduly, and set and costume designer Ivan Stavrev.

Puzzle Théâtre’s wordless performances allow audiences to feel what is not explicitly stated during performances.
