September 2018
Tickets CZK 290 / student&senior CZK 150 — large auditorium — length 95 minutes — Tickets available via Archa Theatre and GoOut.cz
An historical action fiction by the VOSTO5 Theatre. A theatrical spectacle that combines elements of the martial arts with daring stunts and the poetics of original theatre with its characteristic wordplay.
A playful interpretation of dramatic events from the Protectorate period, in which the feverish activity of the fictitious resistance group known as the Czechoslovak League of Exceptional People almost gets swept away by an unexpected blow from incoming Reich Protector Reinhard Heydrich, who arrives in Prague to restore order. Can legendary Czech superhero Pérák – who thanks to the springs on his shoes is able to strike at the fascist occupiers by leaping over fences, trams and houses – save the day? Does he even exist?
The story features actual figures from Czech history in an imaginary context. Will Václav Morávek, Adina Mandlová, Julia Fučíková, Jaroslava Foglarová and others succeed in carrying out their revolutionary plan? Time is running out and the situation is complicated by paratroopers from England. Everything inevitably leads to assassination! Will Vosto5 change history?
The production creates an unpredictable fictional adventure that intertwines with historical reality and creates a surprising alternative interpretation of history.
