About the friendship between a little boy and a magical balloon

The story — inspired by the French film of the same name by Albert Lamorisse — is about a little boy and his balloon, which not only can fly wherever it wishes but above all is able to reciprocate the boy’s friendship. But will the boy protect his inflatable friend from uncomprehending adults and a gang of street kids? A small-scale poetic production for the very youngest children, almost without words.

Naivní divadlo Liberec is a professional Czech theatre focused on puppet and alternative performances for children and adults.

The theatre is involved in education and supports young talents through workshops and projects for school groups.
