About the ensemble
V.O.S.A. Theatre is an association of professionals who are primarily dedicated to street theatre and street art in general. We see street theatre as a specific theatre genre that has a great chance to enrich important outdoor events. V.O.S.A. Theatre has already presented itself many times in front of international audiences at the opening of events of national importance. We are honoured to have been able to collaborate with the Czech pavilion at EXPO 2010 in Shanghai, China, or with the Czech trade representation in London and Berlin. V.O.S.A. Theatre often participates in international theatre festivals with its performance High Dreaming. It has represented Prague at the annual celebrations in Saint-Petersburg, Riga and Ljubljana, Slovenia. It has also opened the 2011 Ice Hockey World Championships in Košice and the 2014 World Ski Championships in Harrachov. In 2014, it also performed several reprises of High Dreaming at the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Bahrain.
About the show
A journey, following the footsteps of his own childhood, deep into his own heart. A quest to find the lion that lives in each of us. A journey of courage, responsibility and the strength of a lion's heart.
A poetic theatrical walk, a moving installation with a 6m lion puppet in the lead role.
The original all-metal LVA puppet is being created for the Czech representation at the national day at the EXPO 2020 World Exhibition in Dubai.
Concept: Jakub Vedral
The author of the puppet is Adam Štumar and Jiří Mezera
Textual collaboration: Justin Svoboda
