● 15:30 + 16:30 | Johana Bártová: The Smallest of the Sami ●
Beyond the polar circle, where frost and cold reign, live the Lapps. They have herds of reindeer, which they look after, and when the reindeer no longer have anything to eat, the herdsmen set out with them in search of new pasture. One day, the smallest of the Sami sets out on such a journey. He has no idea what awaits him, but he rushes headlong into adventure. The play was created as a graduation production at the Department of Alternative and Puppet Theatre of the DAMU theatre school. It won second place in the 2019 Erik puppetry awards.
DIRECTION: Johana Bártová
DRAMATURGY: Československé klacky
MUSIC: Jakub Šulík, Matěj Šubera
SET DESIGN: Jakub Šulík
CAST: Jakub Šulík, Matěj Šumbera, Johana Bártová
First performed on 28 January 2019.
A simple but extremely functional staging idea (tiny puppets on a drum and only a minimum of other requisites) forms the basis for a tale of initiation about an outsider’s path to growing up and acceptance by society. It has a strong moral charge, but also a strong atmosphere and a wealth of elaborate puppetry tricks. One that stays in the memory is the playing with perspective – who says that already small puppets cannot be much, much smaller still?
— MICHAL ZAHÁLKA, Loutkář

● In 2021, all events at ALTA are free! ●
During the pandemic, we did not have the opportunity to meet you in person and open ALTA to the general public. Now that we can do it, we want to be even closer to you. We decided that we would not collect any entrance fees for our programs in 2021, so that really everyone could come. Culture to all!
