On March 3rd, Laterna magika will present a premiere of a brand new show Legends of Magic Prague. This new piece, the first after years to be created by Laterna magika, now one of the National Theatre ensembles, is bound to attract spectators by its astounding concept as well as by being enrooted in the traditional artistic approach of Laterna magika.
