Aspects of Alice....

This is a classic theatre performance on the theme of "Alice in Wonderland". It is not a literal transcription for the stage but takes up the story where Alice ceases to be a little girl any more. The author allows Alice, with the aid of fantasy, to experience the wonderful moments of growing up, discovering love, sexuality, laughter and tears, joy and sadness. All this against the background of Old Prague, its architectural jewels and its rich historical associations, but also Prague as the crossroads of Christian and Jewish culture. The creative direction, the large scale projections, animated films, puppets, amazing tricks and black theatre special effects, exciting contemporary music alongside classical music by Bedrich Smetana and Antoin Dvorak, fantasies - all this makes a perfect theatrical experience.
