Rašid Nikolić is a puppeteer, street performer and storyteller whose work is deeply shaped by his Romani heritage, family history and the rich cultural traditions of the Balkans. His handmade marionettes are far more than puppets—they are living characters through which personal memories, family figures and extraordinary personalities come to life.
The Gipsy Marionettist is a poetic, humorous and magical performance in which finely crafted marionettes invite audiences on a symbolic journey. Strange creatures, dancing figures and untamed characters emerge to tell stories about freedom, identity and human connection.
The production combines the traditions of puppetry with the sensitivity of contemporary street theatre, offering an entertaining and thought-provoking experience for audiences of all ages.
