Puppet Theatre Museum opens exhibition on Wolf Kriimsilm

The Puppet Theatre Museum has opened an exhibition tracing the character Wolf Kriimsilm’s journey from the theatre stage to television, ERR reported.

The exhibition, “Wolf Kriimsilm on air”, centres on the original puppet created by artist Raivo Laidre for the 1962 puppet theatre production “Enemies”. Gerli Mägi curated the exhibition.

The exhibition honours the 80th birth anniversary of puppeteer Hendrik Toompere Sr, who gave Kriimsilm his voice and movements. The character remains in the memories of many television viewers, the museum said.

Visitors can also see other familiar television puppets, including Tipi, Täpi and Postikana, as well as characters from the programmes “Wolf Kriimsilm”, “The Biggest Friend” and “Well, Would You Look at That!”.
