Written in XVIIIth century by Jonathan Swift novel “Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World ” is a fantastical and surrealistic description of four imagined travels in which the author cracks down on the whole mankind, it’s nature and all institutions created by it. People of every period of time, also at present times, can find their own characteristic, reflected like in the mirror and the accusation of their way of living in this extraordinary grotesque. Unfortunately, this great literary work addressed to adults was censored, mutilated and then deprived from its all drastic parts and good taste. Then it was thrown to the children’s room as an innocent tale of adventures to Lilliputian’s and Giant’s lands. In uncountable adaptations for children the third travel is permanently abandoned.
Our performance “Laputa & Lagado” is a stage adaptation of the third part of Swift’s novel describing the travel which begins on the flying island – Laputa and ends with a scene of visiting the land of immortals.
