The Small Theatre in České Budějovice was founded in 1946 and since 2004 has been part of South Bohemian Theatre, which consist of four theater groups,. Throughout it´s history the creation in Small Theatre has been focused on young audiences and various forms and shapes of puppet theatre (not only classical puppet theatre, but also theatre of objects, masks, physical theatre, street theatre, etc.). In addition to adaptations of classical fairytales (The Sinful Village of Dalskabáty, or the Forgotten Devil, Hansel and Gretel, The Animals and the Robbers, Cinderella and famous works of both Czech and world literature for children and youth (Quijote!, Ronia, the Robber’s Daughter, Tom Sawyer, White Fang) the original production has been more and more making it´s way through in recent years (Etiquette for Rascals, Gulliver’s Trek, How I was Cyrano, A Hundred Years’ Vacation, About one little hedgehog)
It is always in an unmistakable and, in terms of art, distinct style, placing a great emphasis on the component of music and movement within the production.
