Spejbl a elixír pošetilých myšlenek
What you need to know
- Spoken and sung in Czech, with no English version on the theater's site, so kids need the language to follow the story
- Eerie in places, with Death among the characters, so it's a poor fit for a child who spooks easily
- 50 minutes, no intermission, so plan a bathroom stop before it starts
About
A puppet play that ties kids' lives today to the dark old legends of Prague. Time stops on the Old Town astronomical clock, an ancient curse wakes, and a creature trapped between the seconds walks into the present. Hurvínek's wish sets it off. There are laughs, but the mood gets eerie, and the story is about love, memory and what can't be undone. Not a light comedy for younger kids.
