This text deals with the 19th year of the international festival of puppet theatre Bábkarská Bystrica 2014. It situates it in the broader context of how the festival has received its current form. The oldest puppet theatre festival in Slovakia currently focuses on contemporary theatre works as well as authorial theatre. It continues to have the ambition to bring a wide range of genres and themes to as many different audiences and age groups as possible. As the repertoires of theatres in Slovakia and the neighbouring V4 countries reveal, Bábkarská Bystrica is successful in spreading the tradition that it has created. It can be seen in the wide and inspiring range of puppet theatre productions aimed at adults which present an alternative to dramatic theatre.
