The theatrical adaptation features a dialogue between film and stage performance, music and lighting design, and combines a poetic vision with the artistic vision of Laterna magika.

We present at the Estates Theatre

Valerie and Her Week of Wonders

Edgar Allan Poe and the characters of his fantastic universe are brought to life in the performance prepared by Laterna magika, combining dance, singing, original music score, instrumental music, vivid stage design and striking costumes, objects, and marionettes.

The multimedia production The Fabulous Baron combines film projections with a comic and large-scale puppets. Live music is an essential component of the production as background to the artists’ performance.

Czech premiere performances: 9 and 10 April 2026 at the Estates Theatre
