Close your eyes.
Can you hear how it is murmuring?
Breathe the nice smell in.
Whisper:
Bohemia lies by the sea.


Let’s do it again – close your eyes and imagine the following: like one million years ago, Bohemia is once again under water. The long-standing dream of contemporary Czech landsmen, to have a sea, has finally come true. Water – sea water, in particular – brings a lot of stories... Sunken ships full of treasures, big scary teeth of predatory fish, an astonishing sea storm or just a bottle with castaway’s pleading message... Apart from stories, the huge and deep sea brings mood, feelings, atmosphere or poetry, if you like.

And it is poetry by Radek Malý, one of the most acknowledged Czech poets for children, which is the basis of Michaela Homolová’s production.
