O stands for the greedy Otesánek but other things start with “o” in the Czech language, too: circumference, determination, snack, threat … all of them in a horror puppet show based on a well-known fairy tale.
The production was created with the support of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague as an end of semester work of 2nd year students at the Department of Alternative and Puppet Theatre at the Academy.

We have performed at several festivals such as Tremendous Trifles at Alfréd ve dvoře Theatre, One Flew Over the Puppeteer’s Nest in Minor, Puppeteer’s Chrudim, and Prague Fringe Festival and we have also performed at the Comedy Theatre.
