Diversa for Children: Boža in the Kingdom of Puppets

Ensemble Opera Diversa presents the puppet opera "Boža in the Kingdom of Puppets", designed for children and adult audiences of all ages. The production is based on an original libretto inspired by Bohuslav Martinů's piano cycle "Puppets". The story follows a mouse named Boža who, while searching for food, leaves his world and finds himself in the Kingdom of Puppets, where he meets Harlequin, Pierrot, and Columbine. He becomes entangled in their joys and sorrows – falls hopelessly in love and is accused of "ballet betrayal". To save his new friends, he sacrifices a family treasure.

Creative team: libretto and direction by Kateřina Křivánková, music by Markéta Brothánková and Bohuslav Martinů, scenery, costumes and puppets by Sylva Marková, light design by Anna Laborová, rehearsal pianist and musical preparation by Linda Coganová.
