Kuninkaallinen Nukketeatteri
Hämeenlinna, Kanta-Häme
The Royal Puppet Theatre is a professional puppet theatre founded in 2009, whose tours cover the whole of Finland. Over the years, it has become familiar to theatres, festivals, libraries, schools and daycare centres. We bring everything we need with us, including lighting and sound equipment, so the client only has to worry about getting the audience to the venue. Our puppets and sets are handmade in our workshop at Taidekasarmi in Hämeenlinna.
The theatre's permanent staff includes puppet master Hannu Räisä and actor-director Antti Kemppainen, who also perform in almost all of the plays.
