A special project of the DNO Theatre company, Tichý jelen and the band DVA. A comic variation on an evil topic. Puppets as weapons turned against tragedy. The hunchback comes with eating. The most malicious figure in human history will come alive, grow up and die right in front of your eyes. Whet else could you wish for?! You will even see the unseen. The production has won a number of awards at insignificant amateur theatre festivals and made a forgettable representation of the Czech Republic in the faraway Réunion (this April, so you will be the first audience to see it back home).

DNO Theatre is an independent alternative puppet theatre company lacking a permanent scene. The DNO Theatre was established in 2000 by a group of actors, musicians and artists from Hradec Králové, East Bohemia. Since 2004, the theatre has had the status of a civic association providing for various theatre, music and visual art projects. Since its origination, the DNO Theatre has produced over 25 theatre and music projects and participated at many festivals in the Czech Republic (Puppet Chrudim, Přelet nad loutkářským hnízdem, Divadlo evropských regionů, Ostrovy-Islands…) and Europe (PUF – Slovenia, Bábkarská Bystrica – Slovakia, Eger – Hungary). The DNO Theatre combines puppets, old toys, hi technologies, live music in non-traditional puppet performances.
