Damúza: Fimfárum

45 min | ZDARMA / Free Entry

Fimfárum is a twig that fits into a welly and is only a hair’s breadth thicker than the thinnest cane. If you whip it once, everything around you stops moving. Movement doesn’t restart until Fimárum is whipped again. There was only one in existence and it was owned by a devil…

This puppet play stages three fairy-tales from the popular book by Jan Werich.

The 45-minute performance is suitable for children above 3 years of age.

Divadlo Kordula: Little Red Riding Hood

40 min | ZDARMA / Free Entry

A hand puppet adaptation of the classic fairy-tale. Two actresses perform the story of Little Red Riding Hood – but each in a different way. The drama needs to be toned down, however, and it’s necessary to get some laughs. The reaction of the audience (children and grown-ups as well), reciprocated by the actresses, turns the performance into a unique experience. The performance is staged by two theatres – Bořivoj from Prague and Kordula from Liberec. 
 
The 40-minute performance is suitable for children above 3 years of age.

Fras: Behind the Door

35 min | ZDARMA / Free Entry

A big house in the middle of a big city. Jáchym lives here with his mother and father. It’s summer, and his friends are gone. Jáchym hangs around the house alone. Ema arrives for part of the summer holidays. Mysteries are about to be revealed. As soon as Jáchym and Ema meet, a riddle involving a clumsy old man and a locked door begins to unfold. The children don’t have a choice; they must get to the bottom of this mystery.

In 2022, the show was supported by Nová síť as part of the New Blood on the Stage programme. 

The 35-minute performance is suitable for children above 5 years of age.

Naivní divadlo: Kuba and Markyta + The Three Threadmakers

50 min | ZDARMA / Free Entry

Kuba and Markyta

Using several puppets, actress Markéta Sýkorová illustrates the ridiculous behaviour of a stupid boy named Kuba who tries to follow his mother’s advice, but always messes things up. Kuba is to marry Markyta and bring her a present, but he misunderstands his mother’s advice and does something dumb again. This triggers a chain of advice and the nonsensical following of it, which is hilarious for children, as even the smallest child is cleverer than our Kuba. 

The 25-minute performance is suitable for children above 3 years of age.

The Three Threadmakers

In addition to the legendary performance Kuba and Markyta, which has been in the repertoire of Naivní divadlo Liberec for more than 20 years, the troupe has introduced a new ‘Grimmesque’ fairy tale, The Three Threadmakers in 2010. In this piece, the dumb Kuba is replaced with a very lazy girl. The current performer of both pieces, Markéta Sýkorová has written a fairy-tale anecdote about laziness and promises unfulfilled (once again inspired by the Brothers Grimm).

The 25-minute performance is suitable for children above 3 years of age.
