A purely illusory marionette production by Martin Tichý (e.g. The Fairy Tale of Rashkov at the National Theatre of Prague), based on an original play by Boris Jedinák, with puppets by Robert Smolík, brings the audience into a world on the border of the animal and human realms. Autumn is coming. We need to prepare carefully for winter, but Renard the fox loses his home and all his supplies. He has to feed himself and his family, but he can't get help from other animals. He figures that what he doesn't get the easy way, he'll take the hard way. He embarks on a robbery spree and soon rumours of the greatest robber of all time begin to spread throughout the suburbs among animals and humans alike. What was initially a necessity for Renard becomes a passionate sport. His robbery stunts are becoming more and more entertaining. He sets his sights higher and higher, quite oblivious to the dangers he faces. How far will Renard the fox's passion for robbery take him? Are there situations in which cheating is allowed? Will he make amends? These questions and more are answered in this puppet adventure comedy inspired by legends and stories of the witty fox from the beginning of time to the present day. For ages 6 and up
