A tragic story of two young people...murder for love?...or perhaps for the desire for justice? A story set against the backdrop of the atmosphere of the periphery of a big city and its harsh rules...This is the famous play by František Langer, which the DFXŠ Ballet in collaboration with the composer Martin Němec is pleased to offer you in the form of a dance theatre - song play...Dance - ballet are the main carriers of the plot, from which we are sometimes torn by the figure of the Narrator, the singer, the commentator in one person and their two Helpers. Martin Němec is the frontman of the bands Precedens and Lili Marlene, he is known as a composer of music for many films, composer of songs for famous Czech pop-stars, collaborator with director Juraj Herz. For this performance he composed original music, but also lent the greatest "hits" of the band Lili Marlene with lyrics adapted to the needs of the play, which perfectly evoke the atmosphere of the periphery.In the role of the Narrator we will see, and mainly hear (mystical counter-alt) Dáša Součková, singer of the band Lili Marlene and actress ( T.M.A, Divadlo na zábradlí..)A bit "wild" for a ballet perhaps - civilian acting, elements of minimal-ballet..but not quite, musically and dancingly (neo-classical) there are lyrical and tender moments...and with the end of the performance, hopefully enough emotional impact...
