Mateřinka 2027

MATEŘINKA is a festival of professional puppet theatres; the only one in the Czech Republic that focuses on performances for little children. MATEŘINKA Festival has a long tradition dating back to 1972, when the first Czech national puppet festival was held in Liberec. The venue was (alternately ) the city of Liberec and České Budějovice. However, since 1991, Mateřinka Festival has been held every second year only in Liberec. MATEŘINKA is a competitive festival. At the end, the expert jury awards performances of individuals in the most successful puppet productions.
