The East Bohemian puppet theatre Drak Theatre was founded in 1958, making it the youngest of the professional puppet theatres in Bohemia at the time. It presents its productions not only on its home stage in Hradec Králové and elsewhere in the Czech Republic, but since 1964 also on numerous tours around the world. Very quickly, „DRAK“ became not only a beloved puppet theatre, but also a co-creator of the development of Czech and later international puppetry. Many of its productions introduced distinctive and often groundbreaking approaches that won awards both at home and abroad.
