Debata pro loutky:
The end of one-party rule?
"Students of all faculties unite. Saturday 14:00 at Letná!"
"I'm not Pinocchio! I'm just a Czech who's been pulled around for 20 years!"
"Students, you're men, the waiters are with you!"
"For 40 years we were led by the PARTY, now we want to go EQUAL."
"Christmas is coming, comrades are leaving."
These and many other slogans are chanted or carried on banners by the crowd of demonstrating students.

DEBATE FOR PUPPETS is a project and now a collective, which originated at DAMU and which moved in June to a new cultural space dedicated to young adults, ARCHA+. It is a debate project based on the secret identities of the individual guests. We are interested in how much a person's consciousness of who they are talking to influences their communication. Whether it's based on what they say, how they behave, or even how they look. Therefore, neither the audience nor the moderator of the debate knows the identity of the guests, which opens up the space for a discussion without prejudice and with more openness.
Each Guest is given an "avatar" or alter ego – a puppet who will perform in his place that evening. A puppet that is neutral, has no recognizable character, and thus allows the viewer to form an opinion of the discussant based solely on their thinking and attitudes. For this reason, the format is called Debate for Puppets.
