VÁNOCE S KULIŠÁKEM / CHRISTMAS WITH KULIŠÁK

Iva Peřinová

Cast: 1 man, 1 woman

A simple, gratifying little play for the youngest audience, intended for what is known as “table theatre”. The nonsense situations of this little play were inspired by one of the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm. A smoked sausage moves into a cottage belonging to a little bird and a little mouse; each of them has his own little bed and keep house happily together. The little bird hunts for firewood, the little mouse cooks, and the sausage sticks his feet into the soup to make it smell better. But then the evil bird Kulišák puts the idea into little bird’s head to wet his feet in the soup himself, and drive the sausage out into the forest for firewood. The story would end tragically if it weren’t for Christmas Eve. This time it is actually Kulišák who prepares the most wonderful Christmas surprise for them. The fairytale is written in simple rhyme.

  The play is available in Czech original.
