“I, along with puppet maker Fatemeh Abbasi, produced the puppets over a period of about two months. They include Mobarak, Kordbacheh, Saqqa and Zivar Qabeleh,” Sabri said in a press release on Tuesday.
The puppets were made following a proposal by the TOPIC to add a number of Iranian puppets to its collection, she added.
She said that TOPIC is one of the major European centers that is displaying puppets from across world.
“We donated these 11 puppets to TOPIC as examples of the Iranian cultural heritage,” she stated.
Sabri is the director of Yas-e Tamam, a puppetry troupe, which performed “The Bald Champion” in Spain two years ago.
“I donated the puppet of ‘The Bald Champion’ (Pahlavan Kachal) to TOPIC after the performance,” she said.
She added that director Behruz Gharibpur had also donated Mobarak to the center a few years ago.
Yas-e Tamam has performed at many international festivals.
Their puppet show “The Earth and the Universe” won the Grand Prix for the best presentation at the International Festival of Puppetry Art held in Poland in May, 2012.
