This is the Marionette Theatre in Salzburg, Austria.

It's famous for its puppets.

The people who work with the puppets are 'puppeteers'.

They have to prepare for years.

They're experts.

And the theatre now has a UNESCO prize.

The prize is for culture and art.

Edouard Funck, from Paris, loved puppets as a boy.

In 2011, he started working at the Salzburg theatre.

He loves his job.

The puppets move with 11 strings.

These strings can move different parts of the body.

Anton Aicher started this theatre 100 years ago.

He built the special 'crossbar' for all the strings.

Some puppets are special.

They need five people to move them.

Sometimes the changes in the puppets' body can look real.

Children and adults come to see the shows.

Ilse Laubbichler, remembers watching as a girl.

She now brings her grandchildren.

For her, it's like magic.
