Do you have an idea how puppet theater looked in old times? Actor and director Ivan Gontko decided to revive the ancient tradition of puppeteers and on the base of audio transcription literally reconstruct an original theater play, performed by many generations of well known Slovak puppeteers family - Anderlovcy. You can experience this amusement on May’s Small market in New synagogue at 11.00 and 14.00 (and not in Stanica at 16.00 as usual).

The puppet play is inspired with Greek mythology and heroic deeds of strong Hercules. Pluto, prince of the hell sends disease on king Atmed. His close ones are trying to help him, so they go to the temple of Apollo, in attention to ask for kings’ recovery. Pluto, however, convinces queen Alceska to kill herself and return her husbands’ health with it. Alceska sacrifices herself and Pluto takes her to the hell. When cured Atmedus finds out about this, he decides to go to the mountains in order to live there like a hermit. At that moment, Hercules comes on the scene and goes to hell, to save queen Alceska from powers of hell and returns her to the earth. In the play, there is not missing even a funny character Gašparko.
