Líšeň Theatre (Czech Republic)
A strange rebellion against powerlessness, death and a life of misery. Masks, puppets, machines, shadows, live music on stage. A pair of bizarre outsiders play out a grand finale in a phantasmagorical bravura piece full of dark humour, cruelty and tenderness that unfolds in a mosaic of powerful poetic images. A hymn to all those who live their lives despite their own bodies and the misfortunes of fate.
