The production is not a historical reconstruction, but tells a fictional story with fantasy or fairy tale features, based only on some real events. Besides the birth of (not only) sports legend Vera Čáslavská, who won the hearts of both the Czech and Japanese public in her time, the production tells something else. The cast is half Japanese and half Czech puppeteers. They can thus go beyond the story itself to discover what we have in common, how we differ and what we can draw inspiration from. And together with them, audiences of all ages, from children to adults, can discover the same. Throughout the Tokyo 1964 Olympic Games, and thus the whole story, we are guided by a pair of commentators - a Japanese and a Czech - as in a live TV broadcast. They comment, narrate and translate everything. The story is thus equally comprehensible and at the same time partly mysterious for both Japanese and Czech audiences. The production also combines various forms of puppet, object and shadow theatre or projection. For children aged 9 and up and adults.

A fairytale story about the birth of a sports legend.
