Ukrainian Road Map – PREMIERE
“After having discovered a region’s image through the ambient air which despite its
immobility doesn’t seem so dead, there was nothing left to do as to
leave that place. Overcoming this distance, every receptor activates, you renew
your board diary, which has been rubbed out and lost its clarity, so it is necessary
from time to time to return back to life. All information is preserved in a
journal: you write down for yourself every turn, every parking spot, all
checkpoints, distances between gas stations and bars, prices at those gas
stations and bars, busy hours of refuellers and prostitutes, who everybody
knows here, every broken truck, totally eviscerated inside, every figure at the
crossroad, every funeral, it is impossible to overtake them, also it seems that
you diligently follow a funeral procession and you can’t get in front of it and
find out, what in fact starts behind the border of our life.”
The last premiere of the season will be in the form of a site- specific road-
trip! The action starts at Náplavka, where the audience boards a ship and
crosses the Vltava. You will gain access to such places that usually stay hidden from
inhabitants of Prague. The audience lands off a ship next to Lihovar. The
following part takes place on the summer stage at the bar called U Kozy. The
play reaches its fever pitch at MeetFactory.
The text of this open- air play is based on short stories by contemporary
Ukrainian authors Serhiy Zhadan (Big Mac), Oksana Zabuzhko (Field Work In
Ukrainian Sex; Sister, Sister) and Yuriy Vynnychuk (Chachacha). Those unjustly
not-as-well-known authors respond in their unique postmodernist style to
the paradoxes of the post - industrial eastern society. Their short gripping
stories take place along the way.
Get on board with us and discover madmen, bohemians, intellectuals and
alcoholics from our neighbor's eastern countries!
