Czech Hero

In the show Czech Hero, the political and the intimate, the public and the personal, intertwine. The production is about the bonds we form with each other, no matter how alien we might be. About the relationships in a society of clashing opinions; about what we are willing to do for the world we want to live in.

The production loosely takes inspiration from the scandal and courage of journalist Ivana Svobodová for the creation of absurd movement characters and situations from a world we have to live in.

Her “mission” takes her to the living room of a pensioner who wanted to save “our little country” and thus became “the first Czech terrorist”: “It’s intriguing that someone’s chopping down trees, planning to derail a train, and pretending to be a muslim.”

Do you also try to comprehend the incomprehensible?

Dynamic movement, word, live music, energy, exaggeration. As we are accustomed to with Farm in the Cave, the production is more concrete than dance and more abstract than drama.

For those of you who still care. Not just for liberals.
