An interactive puppet playground where you can create, tell stories, sit, run, laugh, and do all this in front of the best audience in the world - parents and friends. 

Children! Come and play your favorite fairy tale! Become an actor, director, musician, or theater critic for a moment. If you don’t know how to start, there’s a magical starter for you where you can draw the beginning of a tale. Puppet + playground = puppetry ground. Five original standalone constructions for puppet theater with various backdrops and sets of puppets designed for public spaces, open for play and the development of the entire family's imagination. A memory of the Baroque tradition of puppet theaters, open play for all children with imagination and even for parents without it.

Suitable for children aged 3 and above. We kindly ask parents to respect the recommended age limit.
Duration of the performance is approximately 45 minutes. 

We perform in the park opposite BBD at Dunajská 21. In case of bad weather, the production will move to BBD premises at Dunajská 36.
