About
A puppet show about Prague's Astronomical Clock, staged at Říše loutek, a mechanical puppet theater that has run inside the Municipal Library for a hundred years. The story follows the clock as keeper of time: Death ringing his bell, the twelve apostles, and the city's legends. Shadow puppets, marionettes and glove puppets, some spooky and some comic, tell it through pictures and music, so kids from anywhere can follow.
