Founded in 1949, Merlin Children’s and Youth Theater is a magical place in the heart of Timișoara, where imagination and creativity come to life. As the only puppet theater with legal status in the west of Romania, it has a special role in the cultural landscape. With a diverse program of over 20 shows, Merlin invites children, teens, and families to experience the joy of live theater together.

Our artistic and educational projects continue to grow, creating a cultural hub that celebrates the rich diversity of the region while embracing new, avant-garde trends. Whether you’re young or just young at heart, Merlin offers a space where everyone can dream, laugh, and explore the wonders of storytelling!
