Summary/Abstract: This study focuses on the meaning of cultural symbols in the Šalom Alejchem – mier s vami [Shalom Aleichem – Peace Be Upon You] (2000) production created by the puppeteer and designer Ivan Martinka. By analyzing the scenes, the author points not only the originality of the theatrical techniques but also the importance of the aspects of Jewish culture that the audience can perceive at the level of cultural symbols. At the same time, she ponders whether the cultural symbols of Jewish culture present in the production can be viewed as a plausible depiction of Jewish symbolism and whether there are certain parallels between the poetics of Ivan Martinka and the works of the painter Marc Chagall
