The authors of the studio performance have held true to the well-known plot of this classic Czech fairy tale about Budulínek; however, they originally expanded it with many innovative motifs. In their rendition, the theme of obedience doesn’t extend only to the disobedient Budulínek and the oversensitive ears of the sly fox, but also to Budulínek’s grandparents, whose hearing is very poor. You will find out what’s behind this all in a charming studio performance full of humour, live music and exquisite puppetry.

The 45-minute performance is suitable for children above 4 years of age.

This performance consists in three tales in which a dragon looks for a bride. If you like, you can join in and repeat the verses of the tales. Each tale has a different setting and a different princess. However, the dragon still can’t find the right one. It’s up to the audience to decide whether the dragon gets married or not.

The 45-minute performance is suitable for children above 3 years of age and grown-ups.

Using several puppets, actress Markéta Sýkorová illustrates the ridiculous behaviour of a stupid boy named Kuba who tries to follow his mother’s advice, but always messes things up. Kuba is to marry Markyta and bring her a present, but he misunderstands his mother’s advice and does something dumb again. This triggers a chain of advice and the nonsensical following of it, which is hilarious for children, as even the smallest child is cleverer than our Kuba.

In addition to the legendary performance Kuba and Markyta, which has been in the repertoire of Naivní divadlo Liberec for more than 20 years, the troupe has introduced a new ‘Grimmesque’ fairy tale, The Three Threadmakers in 2010. In this piece, the dumb Kuba is replaced with a very lazy girl. The current performer of both pieces, Markéta Sýkorová has written a fairy-tale anecdote about laziness and promises unfulfilled (once again inspired by the Brothers Grimm).

A puppet fairy tale about a bear who wanders through the forest searching for a place to live. Dedicated to all those who have nowhere to live!

There’s nothing else to do but look for a new house. He gets advice from other forest animals, but he soon finds out that their intentions aren’t always the best. However, the most important thing for him is to start his winter hibernation on time.
