A non-verbal comedy in the spirit of Laterna magika that takes on the rapid development of technology and its impact on our lives by means contemporary pantomime, physical theatre, and modern film technology as the essential means of expression. Pluto is the name of a film studio struggling to succeed in the competitive field of motion capture. The technology startup was founded by a group of weirdos who barely understand motion capture. Driven by their enthusiasm and considerable self-confidence, the Pluto artists boldly venture into an industry that is all Greek to them.
World-famous Australian mime Trygve Wakenshaw and leading Czech mime Radim Vizváry portray the main characters.

The programming focuses primarily on contemporary cultural trends. The spotlight is aimed at contemporary dance, progressive drama alternatives, interactive performances, urban culture phenomena, multimedia projects, family programs and more. The New Stage has been since January 2010 playing an active part at the cultural scene in Prague providing the original concept of creative artistic institution within the structure of National Theatre.
