Vit Horejs performs a one-man show of Czech fairy tales (in English) replete with kings, clever village maidens, witches and spirits.

His marionettes speak in dozen voices, dance, play violin, swim and fly. The program is composed of favorite Czech and Slovak fairy tales: "Kacha and the Devil," in which a shepherd outwits the devil who is pursued by a dance-loving shrew, and "The Water Goblin and Stingy Tailor," in which a proud and stingy tailor is taught a lesson by the water goblin, Vodnik. The evening is capped by an adaptation of an all time favorite by Josef Capek (who actually coined the word "robot" for his brother Karel), "How the Little Dog Pejsek and the Little Cat Kochichka Made a Birthday Cake," where the two bumbling friends bake a concoction with a hundred of their favorite ingredients including mice, fish, bones and gooseheads to make a cake "hundred-times as good."

Part of the Centennial Heritage Festival.
