Me, you and That

An abstract exploration of the roundness of the world for our little ones.

Me, You and That is a dance-movement show for toddlers aged 10 months to 3 years.

The world is round and the world spins around. Come spin too! Join the astronauts on an adventure through the galaxy, and see a glowing planet or a planet made of soft plush! The dancers will transport the children on a journey around the world.

This play gives children their first contact with theatre – it respects their needs and carefully introduces them to the world of movement, sound, and touch. Even 10-month-old babies start to remember things and events around them and parts of the world that they can’t see for themselves begin to take shape. 

About the Company

Damúza was founded in 1999 by students at DAMU – the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. Today, Damúza is a production unit supporting emerging theatre performers and ambitious projects by students and recent graduates of DAMU. We focus on original productions, especially puppet, art and object theatre for children and adults. We provide young, early career artists an opportunity to realise their own theatre projects and gain experience in the field. To professional artists, we offer independence, creative freedom and opportunities for experimentation and self-realisation.

The core of our repertoire consists of puppet performances for families with children, with young audiences treated as an equal partner. We also aim to ensure that parents enjoy spending time with their children at the theatre.

Since 2014, we have been developing theatre for early years in the Czech Republic. To date, we have produced over 10 performances for this audience and organise the KUK Festival throughout Czechia. In 2024, Damúza is set to open the first Czech venue for early years audiences – Theatre KUK.

However, in our view, puppet theatre isn’t solely intended for children. In collaboration with the artistic group Fekete Seretlek, we create music and theatre projects for adults, which are showcased on various stages and festivals in the Czech Republic and abroad.

Our performances have appeared in 15 European countries, including Italy, France, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, and others.

Damúza boasts a repertoire of over 40 productions for families with children and adults alike. In a typical year, we stage almost 350 shows.
