The Freak Show /
Forman Brother’s Theatre
Beginning of the performance:
Place: Circus tent in front of the Žďár Estate
The new performance of the Forman Brothers' Theatre is based on a loose string of different acts, with graphically and theatrically impressive moments, a series of short stories united by a common theme. The performance has a cabaret atmosphere and is performed in an unconventional space. In order to at least partially represent the image of the world that people are afraid to enter, we find our protagonists in cabarets, night clubs, circuses, among wandering comedians, puppeteers, bar dancers, cheeky fair announcers, in silent film grotesques, old comedies, and among people with various abnormalities and deformations. Within our society, at times we can be fascinated by the often sad and moving fates of these people and on this basis we try to assemble a mosaic within our own performance while remaining respectful and passionate.
