The performance "Kuthi" from the Tricktrek traveling Theater is a unique puppet show without words, combining elements of engineering and mechanics. Immerses the audience in the atmosphere of a medieval castle full of secrets and unexpected plot twists.

The plot of the play revolves around the wedding of the king's daughter, during which the castle is suddenly attacked by ancient warriors-crows Kuthi. The castle comes to life thanks to complex wooden mechanisms: sliding walls, movable parts and secret rooms. The audience can expect siege guns, catapults, the cunning of the defenders and the treachery of the attackers, as well as an unpredictable ending.​

All the decorations and characters are handmade from wood, which gives the performance a special atmosphere.
"Kuthi" is not only a visual pleasure, but also a performance-a game in which father and son, crows and castle warriors fight, on stage and in life. The performance has been presented at various international festivals and has won several awards for best set design.
