Divadlo Husa na provázku:
Smokeout
Jesus playing the role of European culture. An actor playing the role of Jesus. Actors who have nothing to do with the actor playing the role of Jesus. Theatrical provocateurs and free speech preachers who hold nothing sacred. Faithful Christians and muscular defenders of the true faith. Legal experts, media prophets... A Muslim woman. All of the above stormed through Goose on a String Theatre – and subsequently the media of the allegedly most atheist country in Europe – during the guest performance of Oliver Frljić's play in Brno in 2018. Four years later, the time has come to smoke out and cleanse both the stage and the media landscape. We need to return to where it all began – to the theatre.
19:30 Lecturer's introduction Smoking
It has been more than six years since audiences were able to see two productions by Oliver Frljić in a guest performance and on the boards of the Husa na provázku Theatre. However, the wave of disapproval has not yet subsided. Why do we as humans have the need to take such a radical approach to controversial topics? Where is the line between what an art institution can and cannot afford? How do we deal with this cause without further inflaming the existing conflict? And what would Jesus say about all this?
Jiří Havelka (1980) is one of the most interesting and versatile personalities of contemporary Czech theatre and film: a director, playwright, actor, presenter, and former head of the Department of Alternative and Puppet Theatre of the Theatre Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. His original and award-winning productions frequently stem from collective improvisation, proving time and again that he is no stranger to complex and sensitive social issues and surprising theatrical forms. He returns to Goose on a String Theatre following his successful 2020 production of Gadjos go to heaven.
