A raw musical gala spectacle about things both seen and unseen
The main character of the performance is the sightless singer and pianist Kateryna Kolcová, whose personal statements are confronted with the poetry of the Gertrude Stein, the mother of the American artistic avant-garde. The performance arises out of the texts of both authors, like circus acts. B-grade, kitsch and tawdry erotica are mixed in with a tragic desire for love. With: Kateryna Kolcová, Petra Cikánová, Jakub Žáček, Jaroslav Kořán and Agnes Kutas. Stage design: David Cajthaml. Dramaturgy: Nina Rutová. Conception and directed by: Jana Svobodová.

Urs Widmer: Top Dogs
You are fired! Go get a job. Instant talk show. Therapy on the edge.
Directed by Jiří Pokorný.
Outplacement is where managers who have been fired look for new employment. Now and here. HaDivadlo. We must be a global player.
The internationally celebrated play Top Dogs, by the Swiss author Urs Widmer, presents an unusual type of drama for the stage. Through his mediation, we find ourselves in the milieu of top managers. Despite the fact that we encounter the heroes of the play at the moment that they have lost their jobs, we are offered a glimpse into their special world where ambitions are meant to be fulfilled.
