Summary/Abstract: This text traces the presence, appearance and development of puppet art and elements of it in rites, which passed into rituals as a separate craft, practiced in parallel with other crafts and labor activities within the territory of present- day Sofia. It traces and analyzes the appearance of professional acting for puppet theater (19th- 20th century), professional foreign (19th-20th century) and professional Bulgarian puppet theater in modernity (from 1924 until the present time) as a type of theater for adults and children, and a theater by adults for children, also accompanied by theater for children by children. Facts and the history of various theaters and theatrical groups within the territory of Sofia form the basis of this study.
