For those with specific visions, we offer custom marionettes crafted according to your personal preferences.

Spejbl and Hurvínek – https://www.axamarionettes.com/product-category/spejbl-and-hurvinek/

A staple of Czech puppetry, Spejbl and Hurvínek are iconic figures created by the renowned puppeteer Josef Skupa. Spejbl first appeared on stage in 1920, with the mischievous Hurvínek joining him in 1926. They were later accompanied by characters like Babinka, Manicka, and the dog Zeryk. Known from the beloved TV series “Večerníček,” Spejbl and Hurvínek have their own dedicated theater, preserving and sharing their engaging stories. They hold a cherished place in Czech puppet tradition, known for their playful humor and their ability to captivate audiences across generations.
