The company was created in 2016 by a french woman in exil.

It all started with the flea-circus, created as a side-show for an alternativ circus festival (circuscharivari.de) . It soon became a show on its own as the public went growing and willing to see the fleas. Today the company got bigger in number of puppets and other creatures.. taking part in short films (Plankton TV), or expending in the world of shadow puppetry..

2020:

Organisation and performing in Cabaret Puppette, a cabaret that mixes the art of puppetry and circus.

since 2016:

Zakapüs is part of The Circus Charivari, an ensemble that offers a combination of new circus and performative theater, presenting itself as a collection of living curiosities. An interdisciplinary creation, in which artists from different backgrounds come together to perform a version of an early 20th century freak show. A constant work in progress and a mutating piece, Charivari places the importance on the creative process rather than on a final result.
