Margarita Niculescu (1026-2018)

Margareta Nilescu (1926-2018) has been a key person for the puppet in general and for the contemporary puppet in particular. She was the mainstay of UNIMA, she was the fundamental support and inspiration for Jacques Félix in the founding of the International Institute of the Marionette, the creator and creator of the Charleville-Mézieres School of Puppet Art.

Considered the most important Romanian puppet artist in history, she was the director of the prestigious Tandarica Theater in Romania for about 40 years (until 1986)

Did you know?

Mariona is the global ambassador of TOPIC, she distributes smiles wherever she goes and transmits the love for the art of puppetry that we have in our house. It was designed by a 9-year-old boy and selected after the vote of 3,500 Gipuzkoan boys and girls. The name is related to puppets and also pays tribute to the character of Mariona Masgrau, a renowned Catalan puppeteer who unfortunately passed away two years before the opening of our museum in 2009. Her son, Octavi Rumbau, has given our collection the puppetry heritage that his mother left him, of great value and that we proudly keep. In this way, her legacy will always remain alive, here at TOPIC, for everyone.

Erase una vez...

Every project has its own history and the TOPIC story started more than twenty years ago. It was in 1982 when the Centro de Iniciativas de Tolosa started a new cultural activity and promoted the creation of an international puppetry festival, Titirijai. 

Initially, it seemed like an original idea, a daring proposal even in the opinion of many. But eventually it actually began to take shape and it became a successful idea.
