LA MAMA E.T.C.
CZECHOSLOVAK-AMERICAN MARIONETTE THEATER IN "TWELFTH NIGHT"
Czechoslovak-American Marionette Theater will perform "Twelfth
Night (or What You Will)," the timeless Shakespearean tale of
mistaken identity and misplaced matrimony, as part of La MaMa Puppet
Series 3. This three-tea-tray production, adapted and directed by
Vít Horejš, will feature 22 eight-inch toy marionettes
and three (more or less) live performers. To tell Shakespeare's tale
of twins separated in a shipwreck, the production will have eight-
inch wonders of Czech craftsmen cavorting on the sands of Illyrian
beaches, almost perishing in tumultuous waters teeming with giant
fish and turtles, and bathing in champagne at the court of that paragon
of Uptown decadence, Count Orsino. The lovelorn Count Orsino, the
bumbling Toby Belch and his clowny compadres will be cast with woodenheaded
actors. The waterfalls of wooing words written by William Shakespeare
are adapted by that modern master of Bohemian rhapsodies, Vit Horejš.
MARCH 4 TO 21, 2010
THEATER FOR THE NEW
CITY
"REVOLUT¿ON!" (WORKING TITLE)
This theatre spectacle, featuring Czechoslovak American Marionette
Theatre and guest artists, examines revolutions throughout the history
of mankind as a backdrop for the extraordinary peaceful 1989 Velvet
Revolution in former Czechoslovakia. It wil be performed in the tradition
of Central European medieval street and traveling circus shows, using
puppetry, object theatre and circus arts. Czech and Czech-American
theatre artists join together to offer their particular perspectives
on the Velvet Revolution of 1989 and an overview of the very idea
of revolution through the ages. The piece is written and directed
by Pavel Dobruský and Vít Horejš. Guest artists from
The Czech Republic will include Facka/The Slap Theater, ProjectWINGS,
The Ball Theatre, Pavel Vangeli and Pavel Filip. Supported by Agentura
Dell’arte (Czech Republic) and GOH Productions (NYC).
