THEATRE

TEATRO TRUHLA

In the early 90´s Malá strana witnessed a creation of a puppet theater group “Ochotnice z Kampy”(The Kampa Amateur) whose only member, an actor and director was Pavel Truhlář. He played in local pubs and coffee shops for children and adults, usually on Sundays.
His repertoire consisted mainly of well known local fairy-tales. At the end of the last century his group started cooperating with an original Prague band “Sketa Fotr”. Live music combined with alternative puppet theater of an amateur style hit success and the newly established group became very popular. As the audience asked for new and new premieres, several performances were staged (The Sailors, The Musicians, The 13 Clocks, or Gulliver in Lilliput¨..etc.) some of which are being played even today.

In 2006 the group reorganized, changed its name to “Teatro Truhla” and its members are – apart from the permanent principle head Pavel Truhlář – distinguished multimedia artists Martin Růžička, Jan Kroupa a Jan Čáp.
