An eastern big top houses the ancient art of Czech puppet, that is ristored thanks to Forman brothers mastery, sons of the filmmaker Milos Forman. The spectator has the chance to plunge in a multicoloured world; Forman art is fed by a poetry inspired by childhood, it finds its rhythm in tzigane music and puppets characters.
Obludarium is composed by various numbers, moments and tales joined by a light and funny atmosphere, that is able to give the chance to live the idea of a world far from normality, where feelings and respect towards humanity and the wonder for phenomenons and events that overcome our comprehension, stimulate the sense of mistery.
Preferably, is possible to find Forman brothers heroes in the cabaret, circus and fairs, among itinerant actors, puppet masters, fortune tellers, but also among people affected by deformities, nature victims that must struggle hard to obtain the world’s favours.
Obludarium is dedicated to them and to their grace.
