The production - inspired by the French film of the same name by Albert Lamorisse - tells the story of a little boy and his balloon, which not only can fly wherever it wishes, but above all it can return the boy’s friendship. Will the boy defend his inflatable friend from uncomprehending adults or a bunch of childish street urchins? This poetic production for the youngest children is performed in a cosy studio space and is almost wordless. In cooperation with designer Berta Doubková, it was prepared by a local creative team (director Michaela Homolová, dramaturge Vít Peřina, music Filip Homola) that have created a number of award-winning titles for the youngest audience (About a Lamb that Fell from Heaven, Choo. Choo. Whistle. Woof! and others).
