GLUTZ
COSTUME AND PUPPET MAKER
The House of Glutz is a large forbidding mansion in an ancient corner of Prague. It seems deserted but when hip-hop loving skatergirl Eva climbs into the grounds she meets the owner, the elderly Count Glutz as well as his collection of unusual sculptures.
Eva accidentally discovers that these art works, which include a farting cherub, a rockabilly dragon and a one-armed ballerina, can fly, sing and even dance when they hear music.
Unfortunately, the musical statues are about to lose their home thanks to a dodgy developer called “The Cigar” who is plotting to bulldoze the House of Glutz and build a shopping mall. Can Eva and her new oddball buddies come up with a plan that will stop them all from being turned into road chippings?
Tatiana Trdelnik, a colourful and musical character from the play. She is a Trdelnik seller and knows everything and everyone in Prague. She is very loved, because of her amazing tasteful Trdelniks, they not only taste delicious they make music as well!
