Naivní Divadlo Liberec: CHOO. CHOO. WHISTLE. WOOF! About dogs and trains. – SAMPO Festival at Annantalo

A non-verbal performance by the Czech puppet theatre for youngest children, enthusiastic railway fans and passionate dog lovers.

Once upon a time there was a boy dog. And once upon a time there was a girl dog. He has been guarding his garden all days, and she has been running behind his fence until her owner whistled at her. And as it often happens, and not only in the lives of dogs, the two have begun to fancy each other – in spite of the high planks of the fence that is keeping them apart. But she didn't want to go into an unknown garden and he couldn't leave his backyard…

On a specially adapted stage, a large railway is gradually being built and a story unfolds about a dog who decides to overcome the fear of the unknown to find his girl-dog-friend. He heads towards a grand train adventure and on his journey to find love, he meets many new dog friends who help him on his quest.

Naivní Divadlo Liberec, the Naïve Theatre of Liberec was established in 1949, and it was one of the first professional puppet theatres in the former Czechoslovakia. Even though its production has naturally taken various directions, it has remained in the minds of the audience as well as professionals as the Czech puppet theatre of an excellent quality. CHOO. CHOO. WHISTLE. WOOF! (ŠŠŠŠ. ŠŠŠŠ. HŮŮŮ. HAF!) was created by the same team that brought the performance About the Lamb that Fell from the Sky to the very first SAMPO Festival in 2017.
