Slzy Janka Borodáča: Outcast

English Translation (full text): Uncompromising intellectual duels in physical poetry. The performance of Slzy Janka Borodáča – Outcast theatre company draws from the memoirs of Stefan Zweig titled The World of Yesterday, in which Zweig conveys the image of old Europe and raises the important theme of pacifism, which European men and women still face today. Actresses Gabriela Marcinková and Anna Jakab Rakovská create the diary of today's European women through their personal stories, intertwining with Zweig's contemporary testimony. They open topics such as generational succession, clinical depression, acceptance of parental roles, the corruption of justice after the loss of a close relative, the idea of emigration, and many more. "We consider it important to pay attention to his thoughts and works that identify the specific circumstances that have led humanity into such a terrifying situation: the loss of human dignity and the transformation of morality. If a person or a nation does not remember its past, it has no identity. This is also one of the goals of the theatrical adaptation and staging of Zweig's message: to preserve his thoughts in the most intense physical-textual stage form possible and to bring it closer to the audience."
