ALFA THEATRE - Czech Republic
Schedule: 13th to 15th May at 9.30pm – 16 May at 5pm
For audiences over: M/8Time: 55 min.Language: Czech, English and FrenchTechnique: Hand puppets
A grotesque hand puppet variant of the immortal story of a group of four, whose motto was “all for one, one for all!“ was inspired not only by the novel by Alexander Dumas Sr., but also by the silent grotesque of Max Linder from the beginning of the 20s of the last century. The performance, which can be characterized as “scenic comics“, emphasizes the visual component and action. Alfa Theatre uses only “SMS“ language and live songs on the stage. You will experience suspense, humor, comedy, merciless duels as well as professional puppetry and live music with beautiful songs. Comprehension of Czech is not necessary. Audiences can find everything they could wish for in an adaptation of “The Three Musketeers”: excitement, humor, situation comedy, fierce duels, along with professional puppet work and a directorial vision that infuse the classic story with entertainment, but with oversight of knowledge and love.
