Childrenʼs Days at Pohoda – theatre, dance, miracles
Interactive narratives—instructive, adventurous, and entertaining—will be offered by theatre and dance performances for children at Pohoda. They will cover topics such as “the preciousness of the time a family can spend together”, “the mysterious being that is connected to home,” and you will “learn the paper adventures of the enchanted prince.” For the littlest ones, there will be Toddling way through the Land of touch and fairy”; all will be charmed and amused by Talostan.

Priestor Súčasného Tanca (Space for Contemporary Dance): JUMIKA
Jumika is a mysterious being that connects us with home even when we are away from it. She is everything and feels everything. The worlds are hiding in her dresses. The author's dance performance will invite to dance both kids and adults. The miracle of spontaneous movement will be due to the performer Katarína Rampáčková and the live-act of music producer Stroon.

Bábkové divadlo na Rázcestí (Puppet Theatre at the Crossroads): Hmatuláci (Touchers)
What can a hand, a leg, a skin feel? What all is a hand for? Batolárium Hmatuláci is devoted to one of the basic human senses that we come into contact very early. Touch, feel, work of hands, and pleasant and unpleasant sensations on the body and in the body are a very inspirational zone for a theatre with no words.

Talostan
The favourite magician Talostan has won awards such as the Most Humorous Magic Show at Kremnické gagy or the 1st place in the micro-magic in the Czech Republic, and he has especially won a number of amused and “charmed” spectators. He is great at confusing the attention of pre-school children as well as the minds of adult audience. However, more important than the actual magic is the huge amount of fun in his performances. By the way, what pet do you think cannot be made out of a balloon...?
