THE HORSE HOSPITAL: Colonnade, Bloomsbury, London WC1N 1JD

An extravagant Venetian Baronet fights boredom and contempt of the morbid urbanism and bourgeois constraints of his native city through various excesses assisted by his lackey Lubomír. He finally opts to experience a spiritual death, which is facilitated by the director of The National Theatre of the Mrštík Brothers in Brno and executed by the Angel of Spiritual Death and the Devil without Attributes. But things turn out differently than the baronet imagined…

This highly imaginative playful drama filled with linguistic virtuosity, ironic humour and cruelly accurate deconstructions of social and cultural hypocrisies will be presented in London for the first time in English as a staged reading for four actors.

Author: S.d.Ch.
Adaption: Eva Daníčková
Cast: Cristina Catalina, Christopher Holt and others
70 minutes

After long debate and the setting of criteria, we arrived at a list of names we consider significant for the local context, for the presentation of Czech art outside the country and especially for the future of art. Our criteria did not…
Magda Tóthová Magda Tóthová
Borrowing heavily from fairy tales, fables and science fiction, the art of Magda Tóthová revolves around modern utopias and social models and their failures. Her works address personal and social issues, both the private and the political. The stylistic device of personification is central to the social criticism emblematic of her work and to the negotiation of concepts used to construct norms.…
