MEDIATHEK

Bohemia is by the Sea – The production is based on Radek Malý’s poetry collection for children A Sea of Salt Water. Together with the poet’s verse it evokes the seaside landscape and the world of the sea. Using puppet theatre it conjures up, for example, a lighthouse, as well as flying seagulls and floating sea creatures, real and unreal. The illusion of sitting by the sea is perfect, and the imagination of both children and adutls is fed with ingenious artistic playfulness.

The slow, watery tempo of this stylistically-polished stage fantasy is therapy for strengthening the power of perception in our hurried and unpoetic age.
