TODDLATERNA

ABOUT PERFORMANCE

Toddlers aged 6 months to 3 years and their adult companions will get up on the stage, which will turn into a large playground. We will not tell stories or perform abstract choreographies, but make use of children’s natural inquisitiveness. Inspired by everyday life, ToddLaterna targets the basic senses of the youngest audience, owing to which they can discover and recognise the sounds, colours, shapes and firmness or softness of the things around them. The production retains a dramatic form, so the toddlers will experience their first contact with true theatre. After the performance, lasting approximately 30 minutes, the children and adults will be invited to play on the stage. Theatre for babies and toddlers is enjoying a great boom worldwide, yet in our country it has yet to really take off.

ToddLaterna is the very first production of this kind to be held at the National Theatre in Prague.
