The theater, founded in 1930 as the successor to the vision of the legendary professor Josef Skupa,
nurtures a puppetry tradition that skillfully combines humor, music and social satire – all through
the prism of the relationship between father and son, their everyday misunderstandings, but also their deep mutual
attachment.
For the needs of this tour, a special music and stage program in our language has been prepared,
which brought artists from Prague closer to the audience in the region not only through the universal language of puppetry and
music, but also through carefully practiced pronunciation and language adaptation.
"A particular challenge was to harmonize the pronunciation, the rhythm of the language and the specific humor that characterizes
Hurvínka, but it was precisely in that game and language transformation that we found the joy of meeting", he says
Hasan Zahirović, lector of the play and organizer of the Bosnian tour.
The program is tailored to the audience from the youngest to the oldest, and visitors can expect
a performance that is not bound by age, language or borders – because Spejbl and Hurvínek have been
centuries connecting the world through laughter, warmth and reflection.
The ticket price is 5 KM.
