Czech Puppet Character Hurvínek Celebrates 100th Anniversary
Share:
The beloved Czech wooden puppet character Hurvínek is marking his 100th birthday, despite still appearing as an energetic eight-year-old schoolboy who bounces around enthusiastically and fidgets constantly. The puppet, who has worn down his wooden shoes from all his playful antics, survived both Nazi and communist regimes throughout his century-long existence. Prague's Theatre of Spejbl and Hurvínek is currently putting finishing touches on preparations for the centenary celebrations of this enduring puppet character who has entertained generations of children and adults.
