A puppet expedition through an unknown wilderness for audiences aged seven and up. Who is wriggling under the rocks? One wants to eat the other, while another tries to outsmart everyone; some cooperate, others compete, and some just prefer to hide. But what happens when you lose the safety of your nest?
This language-barrier-free performance builds on the previous work of the TMEL collective, further developing its distinctive aesthetic, humour, and fascination with new, non-human worlds. The puppets designed by scenographer Berta Doubková once again come to life under the sensitive direction of Viktor Prokop, accompanied by Jan Froňek’s mysterious and evocative music.
