With IMAGINARIUM, the Prague artists' collective around Matěj Forman – son of the famous director Miloš Forman – creates a fascinating world between book pages, stage sets, theatre and puppetry. The entirely analogue, handmade installations and pictures do not merely invite wonder: you can enter them, touch them and discover them for yourself.
For the first time, IMAGINARIUM is now on show as an exhibition at the Literaturhaus München. The winding stage worlds tell fantastic stories and at the same time make visible the particular love of detail and the craftsmanship that goes into them.
The after-work tour opens a view behind the scenes: it tells of the origins of IMAGINARIUM, the theatre of the Forman brothers, Czech workshops and a shared passion – the craft of puppet theatre.
