Just a Frog

A frog is born. Simple, or perhaps not. Just a Frog is a playful puppet grotesque that follows the complex journey of a small amphibian through phases of metamorphosis, growth and unexpected identity crises. What begins as the life of an ordinary frog quickly becomes far more unusual when a mysterious kiss suddenly changes everything. Inspired by fairy tales and absurd humour, the performance explores transformation, self-discovery and the unusual expectations others place upon us. Without words, the story unfolds through puppetry, visual comedy and exaggerated theatrical situations.

With a balance of humour, chaos and tenderness, Just a Frog celebrates the awkwardness of becoming who we are, whilst reminding us that even the smallest creatures can find themselves caught up in unexpectedly complicated stories.

Since 2015, Czech artist Jana Vyšohlídová has been creating visually refined small-scale theatre under the name Divadlo U staré herečky, which combines precision, humour and a strong aesthetic. Her performances delight children and adults alike and are regularly featured at international festivals.
