Divadlo Lampion: Komodo (CZ)

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

A story about searching 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. Therefore, his parents take him on a trip to Indonesia, where the largest lizard in the world - the Komodo dragon - lives on Komodo Island. However, everything is a bit different in Indonesia. There are masses of tourists everywhere, so there is a risk that the experience will not be nearly the adventure they wished for. Childhood dreams intertwine with reality and the wild, green jungle. Komodo is a production in which young viewers are a direct part of the story. Children physically participate in all the adventures and help Peter fulfill his dreams. In Komodo, we find the intersection of puppet theater and children's play. The production received the Ján Borna Award at the Dítě v Dlouhé 2022 festival.

Suitable for children aged 3 and up. We ask parents to respect the recommended age limit
Duration of the performance: 60 minutes

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