Presentation |

„Day of Ire“ consists of three parts created and performed by Vojta Švejda, playing the electric guitar, Pierre Nadaud in motion, Jan Beneš McGadie lighting and acting, and Fred Griot, who writes and declaims texts. The origin of this project was inspired by the biblical Book of Job. These days, the quatuor is developing a cruel corrida and working on an obvious disappearance of one invisible man. The source of this process lies in urban adventure of our bodies.

Den zloby – Nečekaně příznivá
vlna nového divadla
Only text in czech for now
Představení bylo zvláštní
demonstrací vyrovnávání se s vlastním já, s vlastní identitou a vlastní
definicí světa. Mapovalo pocity skrývané uvnitř člověka, vyvolávalo a
snažilo se je postihnout. Síla zvuku, emoce v hlase ostře kontrastovaly s
chvílemi ticha a šepotu. Dramatické události byly zlehčovány jemným
ironickým humorem, který zároveň poukazoval na absurdnost situace a
absurdnost hledání pravdy o světě, o sobě, o druhých. |
