How does a cow dance?
The production was inspired by Tereza's actual cow Malina and Bára's desire to be in one of Tereza's books.
A cow is a huge animal, a warm panting body, a friend. Everyday life with a cow was such a strong experience for Tereza that the brush and paper ceased to be enough and she and Bára gradually began to dance a theatre show about and for the cow. Thus a duo of authors was formed, a dialogue between cow and person, performers and audience, artist and dancer.
This duet became a trio in September 2021, thanks to the entry of performer Radka Kulichová, who actively translates the entire performance into artistic Czech sign language. The performance is accessible to people with a hearing impairment.
The author's performance is dedicated to Málina, who went to cow heaven in autumn 2020.
For children ages 4 and up.
