Divadlo Lampion: Komodo (CZ)

The performance is part of the inaugural edition of the international festival PRIENIKY. More information can be found at www.prieniky.sk

A story about the search for authenticity, the power of imagination, and the beauty of the present moment, inspired by the book of the same name by Peter Sís.

Komodo tells the story of Peter - a little boy who is fascinated by everything related to dragons. That is why his parents take him on a journey to Indonesia, where the world's largest lizard - the Komodo dragon - lives on Komodo Island. However, in Indonesia, everything is a little different. There are masses of tourists everywhere, and thus the experience threatens to be nowhere near the adventure they wished for. Childhood dreams intertwine with reality as well as the wild and green jungle. Komodo is a production where young audiences are a direct part of the story. The children physically participate in all the adventures and help Peter fulfill his dreams. In Komodo, we find the INTERSECTIONS of puppetry and children's theatre. The production won the Ján Borna Award at the Dítě v Dlouhé festival in 2022.

Suitable for children from 3 years old. We ask parents to respect the recommended age limit.
Duration of the performance: 60 minutes.

During the Komodo performance, the audience sits on the stage with a limited number of seats.
