Anna Victorova
artistic director
Albert Company works with puppets in performances, street processions, films, video art, as well artistic projects for kids and families.
Our name is a playful nod to the iconic Albert Hall, and at the same time our way of paying homage to our roots. “Albert” is the surname of a large Jewish family, dispersed all over the world.
Our theater was born in the most challenging yet unifying year, as often happens in Israel. We gathered every Sabbath around the table. Our producer, Maria Kaminski, refers to this period as “our family year”. While our family members now have different surnames, the theatre gathers us back together, under one roof.

Puppet theater is close to the art of magicians. But our tricks take place in the imagination of the spectator. We play with it, we create our worlds within it. Together. Spectator's imagination becomes a co-creator of the performance.
A stage puppet is an instrument as complex as a violin or a harpsichord. And a puppet theater is an orchestra in which each participant is irreplaceable

The performance is amazing - so delicate and gentle, simply tender! After you watch it, you just want to fly! It seems that you have wings! A deep curtsey to Don Q creators - our Petersburgers!

A tender, touching, sensual and crystal tale about the last knight.

You’re gorgeous! An elegant, subtle, tender performance with the greatest music, deep meanings and beauty. Let the whole Israel know about you, you will definitely be appreciated by russian-speaking audience, and, hopefully, sabrs too. Good luck and go forward!
