ROBINSON.KA

ABOUT THE PLAY

A puppet-visual production about the courage to step outside the boundaries of one's island.

The girl Robinsonka lives near the sea and the sea lives near her. And not only near her, even in her. Robinson also lives near the sea and the sea lives near him. And not only near him, even in him. Yet they have no idea of each others' existence. Sometimes they feel all alone at the end of the world. Like a simple sentence. One day the waves bring a kind of message from the Unknown. What if somewhere beyond the charted world there is something or someone else? An inter-island correspondence develops. Will they find the courage to embark on an adventurous air voyage to a mythical place where the sky meets the sea?

About the theatre:

The theatre company Odivo, highly acclaimed at home and abroad, teamed up with a leading Slovak theatre, the Puppet Theatre Žilina, for this production. The performance captures through puppets, overhead projector images and music the diverse forms of a child's world where the fantastical world of dreams spills into reality.
