Programme

Štěpán Gajdoš a kol.

Puppet theatre on water

Premiere 1. 5. 2026

Amidst the stormy sea, lighthouses soar on islands of calmness and solitude. Their beacons attract lost ships, underwater monsters, and mermaids who have lost their voices. Upon the surface of the water, stories unfold inspired both by real events and the fables of old sailors, whose memories stretch back to the time when the ocean was nothing more than a blank blue expanse on paper maps.

This spectacular production, which draws inspiration from the Vietnamese water puppet theatre, transports audiences from the ponds of South Bohemia to ocean cliffs, where the wildest imaginations of land dwellers emerge from the waves.

Staged as part of the South Specific 2026 festival.
