HYSTOPOLIS PRODUCTIONS has delighted audiences for many years with cutting-edge, entertaining productions for adults and children, touring in the U.S. and in residency in Chicago. A not-for-profit corporation founded in 1982, Hystopolis is dedicated to fostering an appreciation of puppetry as legitimate theater among a growing world audience. Hystopolis creates productions that are true to historical and traditional forms, but push the envelope of design innovation. The company strives for a standard of excellence in order to inspire artists of other disciplines to incorporate puppetry as a means of expression. Through master classes, internships, and workshops, Hystopolis makes puppetry accessible to artists, teachers, and students alike. Hailed by Chicago critics as "hip" and "superb," Hystopolis has won critical acclaim across the country for its production of Elmer Rice¹s The Adding Machine and is capturing similar attention with its production of Alfred Jarry¹s Ubu Roi.
