Seasons opening Prague Zoo

This Saturday, there will be the grand opening of the 91st season of Zoo Prague. Visitors will be able to enjoy a fashion show of children’s uniforms, which will be available for purchase on the spot, and a special collection of shirts with the motif of pangolins (also known as scaly anteaters) and authentic African dresses made from fabrics imported directly from Cameroon.

Other events include the launch of this year’s children’s tram, the christening of a baby silver gibbon, the opening of the “Gentle Giants” exhibition and a lecture on eastern gorillas.

 

Paper story

It is not very common that the audience may intervene within theatre performance. However, the play Paper story breaks these customs and involves children in the interactive finale in which they can enter the stage and create objects from paper according to their own imagination together with the performers.

A poetic production for children and their parents is about the fragile world we ourselves create, which is accompanied by the combination of pantomime, dance with elements of acrobatics, puppetry and animation. The main role is assigned to paper, playfulness and children’s imagination. Bring your children and don’t miss out this unique experience at the National Theatre.
