The artistic work of The Patch Theatre has been immersed in physical theatre trend, which is rarely met in the sphere of art for children. The spectacles are distinguished by clear movement, expression and narration run without word. The creators care about opening children’s imagination and also showing that there is fascinating space of sound, image and movement, which many times can appeal to the imaginations more than words do. As the creators themselves emphasize: they do not make a little theatre for children but a Real One. In practice it means that they much appreciate children’s audience and do not treat it with indulgence, as it would be less requiring, just the opposite. In their work they make it rule to treat each child as a great little man, who requires at least as much attention as the adult spectator, or perhaps even more.
