ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE
Party’s over. Only the last four remain. The owners or the last visitors? Survivors of global disasters? Staff? Drunks who think they’re gods? False prophets who rave about the end of the world? Psychiatric patients in a locked ward who can’t shake nightmares and dark fantasies?
The inspiration for Continuo Theatre’s latest production, comes from mythological stories, the oldest texts and the most modern scientific theories about the origin and extinction of the world, as well as the fact that we are part of a world that is confronted today and every day with ideas of global catastrophe, whether climate, war or cosmic.
Despite the apparent seriousness of the themes addressed in the production, there is no shortage of poetry and humour. As is already typical of Continuo’s work, the newest production combines the language of physical theatre with a lively musical component, but above all with a specific visual theatrical poetics that manages, with its paradoxical universality, to capture the most intimate human moments, understandable to both child and adult.
The production, directed by the artistic director Pavel Štourač, was created in collaboration with performers Kateřina Šobáňová, Sara Bocchini, Granada Gallego and Ivan Vanko. The dramaturgy of the production is Marek Turošík, a long-time collaborator of the ensemble, and the visual concept is the work of Helena and Pavel Štourač. Music and sound design for the production was created by Jakub Štourač and Anna Luňáková.
