R.I.E. Rest in Euphoria.

What is the path to euphoria? What does one have to do to feel it? Is it enough to look at a work of art? To be close to nature? Or does one have to reach for the stars to have a taste of it?

Excitement. Decadence. Music. Rhythm. The body. Experience. Cabaret. Spectacle. Euphoria.

Rosťa Novák Jr.’s new production will bring you to a place where you can forget not only your everyday worries, but also the existence of time and space, and be free to experience anything that comes to you. A place that is created in the moment, here and now, just for you. A place where you can rest in euphoria.

Together we will explore nature, nudity, rhythm, humour, the grotesque, and satire. Czech and international stars of the circus world accompanied by music from Katarzia will ignite your imagination.

The show is inspired by the glorious history of the early 20th century Czech cabaret scene. You will find out what Voskovec and Werich have in common with cabarets such as La Clique, Moulin Rouge, and Blanc de Blanc.

Come on in! Walk through a door that lets you into a world where anything can happen. We’ll fall into euphoria together, into a world of intimate experiences from which we may never want to return.
