MEDIATHEK

Caberet Shakespeare - After Incomplete Dream and NoD to Quijote this is the third project by creative trio Lucie Trmíková – Jan Nebeský – David Prachař to be produced by Studio DAMÚZA. Based on Shakespeare’s sonnets, the production is accompanied by music by Emil Viklický. Three figures – an aging poet, a young aristocrat and the Black Lady. Age and youth. Love, enchantment and jealousy. All three meet in one place in the midde of a strange love triangle, in which the three figures are no longer what they seem. A story about the world of hope and confidence that all our pain, all our joy, our love, hate and death has a purpose. Reviews: As we are used to seeing from him, director Jan Nebeský plays almost brazenly with the theme of Shakespeare. The actors walk a narrow tightrope between poetry, artistic eroticism, lascivity and self-confessed irksomeness. Given that the subject is “cabaret,” it is also a colourful spectacle that acts on all the audience’s senses (…). The entire cabaret song – and – dance comes across as highly theatrical. It is full of acute paradoxes, both in words and movement, and it combines the untrammelled Renaissance spirit with the skepticism and absurdity of postmodernism. Jana Soprová, Divadelní noviny On the artistic front, Cabaret Shakespeare is typically over-the-top. Costume designer Petr Vlachynská plays as great a part in the form of the production as the director and the composer of the music. The characters swap one manneristically extravagant costume for another, and the performance can thus also be watched as a bizarre fashion show, accompanied by songs and strange stage pranks.
