about us
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 word.
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.
