Obsah

The lecture series will offer students a basic insight into the history and, above all, the present of Czech puppetry. The lectures focus not only on puppet theatre, but also on its overlaps with the sphere of fine arts, multimedia and animated film. The conclusion of the course is dedicated to two specific audience categories of puppet theatre, which have recently received significant attention: adults and very young children up to the age of three. The course will be organized as a lecture with presentations and discussions and includes visits to theatre performances, screenings of theatrical performances and films, and excursion to the specialized Museum of Puppetry Cultures in Chrudim.
