About event
🛋 Daniil Charms/Jan Horák: old woman 🛋
Author: Daniil Charms/Jan Horák Design: Václav Hruška
Director assistant: Pavlína Hýčová
Scenography assistant: Ludmila Zajíčková Řehořová, Ondřej Malý
The length of the performance: 90 minutes
The amendment to the old woman of Russian avant -garde author Daniil Charms with humor reveals the terrible reality of life in Russia across centuries. The short text, although one of the author's longest, is the starting point of the complex phenomenon of a "Russian man". A man who lives in the illusion of freedom, intimacy, artistic self -expression and dignified life. A metaphor of evil is a dead old woman, which despite the series of more or less absurd attempts, cannot be removed. But who is or rather what is the unsolvable problem, is it the external force or one's own imagination that is in a free society of fatal danger? The production of the old woman is a mockery of the monstrous Soviet power and offers a way to at least understand the crushed and tragic Russian soul. Naturally, the one that builds on resistance to freedom, disrespect for human life, aggression, even in its worst war form. The fate of Danil Charms was tragic, the cause of his death was his talent and a free spirit. The old woman is the first work of free trilogy focused on Russia, his past, present, culture and our company.
