Contemporary poetic musical theater about life, love and death...

A multi-genre scenic project dedicated to the personality and work of the poet Jiří Orten, who was persecuted for his Jewish background and lost his life in a car accident under unclear circumstances. Poetry as music, dance as poetry, music as dance. A poetic musical-theater project for all generations with a desire to stop, perceive and listen. The production is created to the centenary of Orten's birth.

Authors and performers: Daniel Krejčík (word), Martin Dvořák (direction, dance), Jitka Břízová, Vojtěch Drahoňovský (music)
