Imaginarium of the Forman Brothers Theater and Their Friends

Welcome to the world where dreams come alive!

This lavishly illustrated book invites you into the fascinating world of theatre makers, puppeteers and storytellers, created by human creativity, imagination and skilful hands. The Imaginarium uniquely connects the magical realm of theatre and the mesmerizing beauty of puppets with a world of playful objects, ingenious mechanisms, artisanal gems and unexpected inventions. The work of theatre artists, designers, skilled craftsmen and tireless dreamers meet and intertwine here to enchant and enthuse visitors of all generations - not only in the Czech Republic, but also in France, Germany, Italy and Denmark.

The world of the Imaginarium and its creators now comes to life in the pages of this book. It follows on from the successful catalogue published in Kassel and, through interviews with the artists and their collaborators, reveals the background to the creation of the Imaginarium and introduces all those behind it. A rich pictorial section gives readers a glimpse into this magical world, even when they are not standing at its gates.
