This world-famous ballet has been performed often, but very rarely using the unique Czech black theatre technique.

The show is directed by Peter Zapletal, artistic director for Puppet Arts Theatre.

Since 1968 this theater has performed for children of all ages from Boston to Tampa and throughout the Southeast with magical and exciting theatrical experiences.

Puppet Arts Theatre is on the performing arts touring program of the Mississippi Arts Commission.
