Puppet Theatre Ulger
The name of the âUlgerâ theatre is translated as âlegendâ. Puppet theatre âUlgerâ was founded in 1967 and is the only theatre for young audiences in Buryatia. Among the theatreâs productions are many plays by Russian and foreign playwrights, but the theatre also puts an emphasis on plays by Buryat playwrights. The theatre tours both inside and outside Russia, participates in different festivals, and frequently is a laureate of different contests, winning prestigious professional awards.

In 2006 the production âSinging Arrowâ received the Golden Mask Award in the nominations âBest Productionâ and âBest Actorâ.
