This was the season we traveled the most—covering more than 28,000 kilometers! We traveled halfway around the globe, reaching from Kazakhstan all the way to Canada!
On top of that, we performed 15 shows, participated in 7 festivals, went on 1 tour, created 1 brand-new production, filmed 1 children's movie, and published 4 new children's books. We were also honored with the 'Best Performance' award for The Samurai's Daughter, hosted a workshop meeting with Senju Takeda, conducted a 'TAKEDA Theatre for Children' course, and took part in wonderful events such as the Asian Festival in Sofia and the 245th anniversary of the TAKEDA pharmaceutical company.
With this incredible recap, we officially declare the 2025/2026 season closed! See you in the fall.

Senju Puppet Company became part of the special celebration of the 245th anniversary of the global pharmaceutical company "TAKEDA", which took place in the beautiful Japanese garden of the Sofia Zoo. The beloved character Issun Boshi was a special guest at the event, greeting the company's team with a demonstration of his iconic samurai katas. We wish the pharmaceutical leader many more years of successful global mission in support of people's health worldwide!

Senju Puppet Company took part in this year's edition of the Asian Festival in Sofia, held under the motto 'Together in Friendship and Harmony.' We presented our unique puppet theatre, giving visitors the chance to get a close-up look at the puppets, take photos, and learn more about our art. Beyond participating, we also enjoyed the festival's rich program—from traditional dances to various Asian culinary delights. We extend our gratitude to the organizers and the Embassy of Indonesia in Sofia for the invitation and the wonderful experience!
