Quirky

See it if If you like puppets. Puppets on display were interesting especially the pregnant one who gives birth.

Don't see it if If you don't like quirky shows. I wasn't expecting to see the puppetiers doing the puppetry openly usually the puppeteer is hidden.

Disappointing, Indulgent

See it if ....you enjoy standard marionette shows telling European folk tales. No surprises here. Dedicated puppeteers give it their all.

Don't see it if ...you prefer a modern, inventive approach to puppetry. Read more

Quirky, Fluffy, Indulgent

See it if you have a love for puppets- some 200 years old, if you're drinking after or just finished. Can be in the moment & laugh at the banal.

Don't see it if you expect theater. Even as a 'fairy tale" it lacked a lot. Not for kids as it's too late in the evening & puppets are scary. Read more

Quirky

See it if you'll like looking at antique puppets and hearing a story with adult (mostly political) humor told the way one would a child.

Don't see it if you can't let yourself run with absurd childlike stories with no depth (this was lacking even fairy tale depth).

Fluffy, Quirky, Bizarre, Grating, Weird

See it if You are into Czech puppetry (which involves rather non-family-friendly puppets and story elements, but is overdone as if for young children)

Don't see it if You don't want to listen to grating falsetto voices, are creeped out by puppets, want a traditional show, don't care for political jokes.
