Embassy of Sweden in Czechia

Bea Uusma, a physician and writer, who has spent several years “full-time” researching Andrée’s balloon expedition in the late 19. century in order to fly over the North Pole, she granted the rights to dramatize her book Expedition: My Love to the only theater in the world – the Royal Hradec Theater Dragon! 🎭
Last week the author came to see the production – and she was excited! 👏 The children’s audience came up with an endless series of questions, the evening one praised mainly the writer’s passion and the amazing performance of Dragon, in addition to acting performances also magical puppets and expedition. 🪄
Big thanks to the Dragon Theater, thanks also to the translator Helena Stiessová and of course Bea, who is already working hard on the second part!
