About 'Mou Nuge Nai'

In this hilarious tale, a young boy finds himself in a bizarre predicacy—his clothes simply refuse to come off. Faced with this peculiar challenge, he arrives at a comically simple solution: "If I can’t take them off, I just won’t!" This absurd logic sets the stage for a whimsical exploration into the ordinary life of a family filled with extraordinary imagination. With engaging puppetry and musing humor, audiences will embark on an unforgettable journey.

A Blend of Performances

The concurrent 'Orgel Theatre 2025' brings together an array of short works that encapsulate the joy and charm of puppet theater. This eclectic collection is designed to entertain audiences of all ages and highlights the versatility and talent of Puppet Theater Puk.
