In this original production, spectators will see a mysterious world full of creatures whose existence has never been scientifically confirmed – Loch Ness Monster, elves, Yeti, dragons and dwarfs. For generations, people have assumed that they have been living among us.

Where does our belief in their existence come from? Or is it really only a fairy tale for small children? Members of our expedition travel through space and time and enable audience to get a closer look into the world of these supernatural beings. However, sometimes one just needs to have faith in order to see them.

Together with the creators of this performance, we are able to witness the transformation of sounds into music, material into living beings and words into poetry. This playful production full of magical moments will stir your imagination and carry you into the world of visions, dreams and fantastical adventurous discoveries.

The production The Stories of Walls is a parable about human loneliness, prejudices and closeness, as well as about the desire to rule and control. We used to be a part of the world around us for a long time, but then we started to build walls between us. History of humankind is the history of walls, fences, fortresses, bars and borders, which were erected with fear and hatred and without any will for mutual understanding. Our allegedly free world is divided by visible and invisible walls which make people become more and more estranged to one another.

This production is inspired by an anthology of short stories written by various world-famous authors, which was compiled by Michael Reynolds. They represent an interesting mix of generations, different authors’ approaches and experience. These writers deal with the topic of ”walls” without any trauma and look at it from a distant point of view.

The story of a little mermaid who decides to exchange the magnificent sea kingdom for an uncertain world of people to compete for the heart of a beloved prince is the basis of one of Hans Christian Andersen's most famous and saddest tales.

In our theater, however, you will be convinced that, despite the lost hopes and unfulfilled love, there is no reason for feeling gloomy. The new adaptation of the original story by the young director Šimon Spišák offers an original look full of humor and the belief that it is worth fighting for ideals and dreams, despite the unfavorable conditions. The production is part of the "Living Classics" cycle, which offers unusual adaptations of traditional fairy tales from Slovakia and abroad.
