The Devil’s Grandmother - Tickets

Since the beginning of time, the world has been ruled by good and evil. Sometimes good has the upper hand and sometimes evil, depending on us – people.
This puppet show is based on The Devil and His Grandmother, a fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm. This Faustian tells the story of three soldiers who have deserted the army. To escape punishment, they sign a contract with the devil, who promises them seven years of carefree life full of pleasure.
And as we all know, time flies when you’re having fun. Seven years go by, and before the young men know it, their souls are on their way to hell. The only way to escape the devil’s snares is to solve three riddles. But can they outwit the most cunning creature of all?
The production is inspired by classic fairy tale and is part of the Drak Theatre’s repertoire for children 3+.
The show was directed by Marek Bečka, a puppeteer and founding member of Buchty a Loutky, which proudly calls itself a postmodern puppet-punk ensemble. The puppets and sets were designed by Radka Mizerová and the live music was composed by Marek Doubrava. The artistic team brings a story full of exaggeration and playful subversion, which playfully reveals the stupidity and narrow-mindedness of evil.
Our three heroes are put to the ultimate test in the devilish funfair run by Mr. Mephisto himself. Devils are cunning and can take on many different forms. Fortunately, there are grandmothers in the world, and even the devil has one. And when a grandmother gets involved in horned affairs, you can be sure that nothing will end the way hell plans.
