It first opened its doors on November 27, 1992. From its inception, the theater was conceived as an institution to educate children in the national spirit and to promote the cultural values of the nation. The idea for such a theater originated from a group of intellectuals of the time, including the first mayor of Chisinau after independence, Mr. Nicolae Costin, director Veniamin Apostol, and actor Victor Stefaniuc. The latter became the mentor and artistic director of the theater, dedicating 18 years of service until his passing. The inaugural plays were “Ivan Turbincă” and “Evoluție,” which aligned perfectly with modern puppetry art. Consequently, the theater received invitations to tour abroad and participate in various international festivals.
