Co-production project with the Czech Theater Drak on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the dissolution of Czechoslovakia.
Czechoslovakia dissolved 30 years ago. However, the dissolution of the common state did not mean the end of the closeness of the two nations; on the contrary. When crossing the state border, we do not feel like we are in a foreign land, and we gladly call the Czechs our brothers. From this warm friendship was born an exceptional co-production performance in collaboration with the Theater Drak from Hradec Králové. Czech and Slovak actors will meet on stage with the aim of creating a true and authentic, original Czechoslovak performance. But where to start? Who represents our specific national characteristics and how to connect them into one whole? The valiant Jánošík comes to help from the Slovak side and the talkative Gašparko from the Czech side. The combination of two incompatible natures leads to experiences in the high Slovak mountains and in the romantic Czech woods. But where is the whole story heading? And does it meet the expectations and ideas of either side? The puppet-drama performance is a metaphor for living in one unit. Can we make compromises in the interest of common goals? But what are we really like? And how do we perceive others? And is there such a thing as national character?
