Established in August 13, 1961, the troupe consists of production, talents, manufacturing and stage arts departments.
Since its debut by giving a one-act performance King of Dry Field Crops, it has so far produced and staged many puppet shows which contributed to the intellectual development and cultural life of children and students. The puppet shows which have been adapted from old tales including the stories told by the peerlessly great persons of Mt. Paektu, A Bell Not Tolled, Footprint of Rabbit and Kind-hearted Third Son give children a correct understanding of good and evil, conscience and fidelity.
Notably, Hungbu and Nolbu won a prize in the 3rd international puppet show festival which was held in Bucharest, the capital of Romania between August 28 and October 8, 1965.
Recently the troupe is focusing on producing shows of various forms and themes to suit the interests and hobbies of students.
As part of such efforts, they explore new themes, and develop characterization and stage arts in conformity with children’s minds and feelings. They produce puppets, costumes and hand props according to the personalities of characters and strive to produce more string and finger puppet shows with elaborate and witty details.
The creators and artistes of the troupe have produced new works like Concert of Our Subbranch, Janggo Tricks and Interesting Folk Games, and staged them in orphanages, children’s camps and primary schools across the country including Pyongyang Students and Children’s Palace and Pyongyang Orphanage. The puppet shows are very popular among children.
