Ptačí sněm

2024

Theatrical adventure from the Forman Brothers Theatre, inspired by the work of Persian mystic Fariduddin Attar.

This is an allegorical tale of birds setting out to find their king so that peace and tranquillity may reign again. Conceived as an image of a journey towards oneself, the performance creates its language, based above all on the power of the image and the impressive atmosphere.

The original mobile space supports the connection between the stage and the auditorium.

In addition to traditional means such as costumes, puppets, and masks, it also uses expressive scenography combined with animations, which are brought to life thanks to a special system of large-format projections.
