Laterna Magika celebrates 6000th performance of “The Wonderful Circus”

The experimental theatre Laterna Magika on Wednesday held the 6000th performance of its show “The Wonderful Circus”, by far the most performed show in Czech history. The Wonderful Circus, a blend of dance, film and black light theatre, first came to the stage in 1977 and many of the Czech Republic’s most famous artists, such as animator and director Jan Švankmajer, have participated in it since that time. The performance marks the theatre’s second important jubilee this year, after its 50th anniversary was celebrated in May.
