If you are interested in quality of the theater, you must learn history of a particular theater. However, what is a real birth of a theater? It happens when an artistic mind understands what is its real purpose and launches a company what with years will morph and evolve, but all of these metamorphoses will be caused by original creator.
In 1988 Nataliya merged forces with Mikhail Khusid (director), her ex-student Alexander Zabolotniy (actor), and Nikolay Yakimov (sound) and created a theater MLP - Museum of Living Puppets.
They opened MLP with an adaptation of story of doctor Faust for children. Wonderful, poetic, was suitable for children of any age. Astonishing, scrupulous work with puppets rend heavy oak marionettes gracious and gracious. Puppets lighted real candles and performed real chemical experiments on stage. That in combination with wonderful life music created unforgettable, enriching and marvelous experience for both adults and children.
They created a few more shows but soon great interest in personal projects pulled the group apart.
In 1991 Nataliya and Mikhail Khusid hire Vladimir Kuznetsov (actor) and create descendant of MLP - Soup Bubble Tales. New concept was for the beautiful marionettes to become a troupe of actors able to perform different fairy tales. Their original Cinderella has now been winning multiple prizes on festivals internationally, but most importantly it gave smiles to thousands of children for more when 11 years.
Another Soup Bubble Tale was Nutcracker, where the marionettes performed a ballet on stage.
Seven years ago Natasha came to America with marionette troupe of Soup Bubbles Tales. They joined forces with Puppet Art group in Detroit.
Today Nataliya is on her own again. Soup Bubble Tales is now CarOvan Puppets. Today they are on the road trying to bring happiness to every part of America and the World.
