A Buzzing Season at Kolibri Puppet Theatre

About Us

Welcome to our little virtual corner! I’m a single mother raising my wonderful son, Ruben, who has grown into a remarkable teenager. For years, I was the sole breadwinner as a Krav Maga instructor, balancing the challenges of parenthood and work on my own.

When Ruben started kindergarten, I embarked on a new journey by studying healthcare management at Semmelweis University, specializing in health tourism management. After graduating, I began working in my field and experienced firsthand the tragic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic while serving as a healthcare manager in a state hospital.

As the pandemic subsided, I transitioned into private healthcare, where I currently work as a practice manager. Meanwhile, our family moved from a small town to Vác, a charming historic Danube riverside city near Budapest.

Here, we embrace the everyday moments and joys of life together. If you want to hear more stories about us, you’re warmly invited to visit the original Daysonpaper blog at S&Ru’s Diary on daysonpaper.blog.hu.

So I decided to try living for a year on an international stage and see if there are other mothers in similar shoes for whom this diary could be a support on the harder days—just as it has been a support for me when I was able to look beyond the difficulties and sincerely believe in my own strength.

Thank you for stopping by!

While I adore the theatre, I unfortunately rarely find time for cultural indulgence. However, yesterday my mom asked me to pick up the kindergarten tickets from Kolibri. While waiting for them to be printed, I had the chance to browse through the informational leaflets and grab the current season’s program guide. To be honest, I was completely stunned by the kind of pieces they’ve brought to the stage this year (puppet theatre, no less)! The biggest heart-throb was for my personal favorites: Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, Thomas Mann’s Mario and the Magician, and Oscar Wilde’s The Happy Prince. However, Veronika Marek’s Kipp Kopp (in two different stories) and Sándor Weöres’s Bóbitá managed to pique Rú’s interest too, based on their well-known book versions (because children’s literature is the most wonderful literature, which we happily indulge in every day).

Long story short, going to the theatre will be a top-tier activity this summer!
