BENCE SARKADI
BENCH-TIME STORIES
Bench-Time Stories is a non-verbal one-man show for adults, performed with string marionettes.
It tells a series of short stories that mix humor, seriousness, and unexpected twists.

"a series of relatable and surprising moments —stories of love, conflict, and memory, all revolving around a simple bench."
THE MARIONETTES
The show is centered around benches—everyday places where characters meet, fall in love, face conflicts, or revisit childhood memories. From a simple boy-meets-girl moment to a clash of world-class football coaches, and a story about the loss of identity, Bench-Time Stories shows how relationships, events, and lives can unfold around a single bench.
"Bence's marionettes speak of love, memories, struggles and loss - and all this in a delicate montage without words!"
Marian Palma Castillo, Director,
Titirimundi Festival

"A performance so inventive
that it cannot be forgotten."
