The tragic comedy Who Shot Down the Angel with real war in the background

In the female role of Marie, Ivana Hloužková and Eva Salzmannová alternate. Saturday’s world premiere will be in Brno, Prague will present a tragic comedy about lies at Studio DVA on Thursday, May 5.

While the Warrior and the Philosopher argue, perhaps only Marie, torn apart by an unhappy love, knows who shot down the angel, a creature on the verge of extinction… Two tramps, perhaps more like tramps, or even clowns, meet in a dilapidated church. which is not specified. “One is waiting for a state award, or a trial, or both. The second turned out to be the judge who convicted the former for an act committed in the past, even though he himself did it. Both lied, denying themselves. Their memory, full of cynicism, therefore vague, may not be true, but funny and interesting. They are charming liars. They are lies that flow of course like facts, piling up, contradicting each other and sweeter than the truth. Two clowns, Warrior and Philosopher, playing with abstract ideas. But the ideas are very real,” said Karel Steigerwald, who finished the game in December 2021, but that has become even more relevant in light of Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

Steigerwald is today’s live classic, a playwright who writes for studio, experimental or search theater. Therefore, it is great that he wrote original plays for another living classic, Boleslav Polívka, because it is always good when a new play is made for theater certain and certain creators. After all, the other in the pair of philosophizing impulses is Cyril Drozda, the cult actor from HaDivadl in Brno. This combination will result in a production based on brilliant acting skills,” adds director Břetislav Rychlík.
