Ramin Kohan, the Iranian Puppet Theater director , who had been working with the Hobbit Theater Company in Würzburg since late summer of 2019, has directed a new play called "Mubarak and Casper, an Amazing Meeting" commissioned by the Institute for the Study of Democracy and the Dialogue of Nations in this company.

Currently, the show is on the production process, But due to the re-emergence of Covid-19 disease and the closure of theaters halls for several months, it is not possible to perform live, and like other German halls, it is waiting for reopening.

Mubarak, a popular and familiar puppet character, sends a letter to Casper, a traditional German puppet, said that he intends to visit him. Casper, who is very eager to meet his Iranian counterpart, is looking forward to his happy guest. Of course, Mubarak is not alone in this journey. The plane is accompanied by another puppet character and a demon. The confrontation between Mubarak, the plane, the demon and Casper is full of interesting and funny events.

This show is performed with two techniques of glove and cotton puppet (marionette).

The director's next project will   be the puppet-musical play "Jungle Boy" in Iran, which is one of the great puppet and musical productions of the Sayeh Theater Company.
