CRIPPLETREK

ABOUT THE PLAY

An eventful ride of the inmates of the Last Legs Residential Institute.

A freak revolt against helplessness, death and life in misery.

Masks, puppets, machines, shadows, live music on the stage.

A pair of bizarre losers play out a majestic grand finale in a phantasmagorical road movie packed with black humour, cruelty, tenderness stretched across a mosaic of powerful poetic images. Dedicated to all those who live their lives in spite of their own bodies and the adversities of fate.

About the theatre:

We founded the Líšeň Theatre as an independent, experimental stage. We work with puppets, masks, objects, movement and sound stylization. We perform in Brno, across the country and at festivals abroad.

We present our productions, workshops and accompanying educational programmes to the general public and schools. We also focus on human rights and political issues. We have a long-standing collaboration with Roma dancers and musicians. We visit disadvantaged audiences in residential institutions and day care centres. We organize festivals. In our home town, Brno-Líšeň, we participate in the community development of the municipality and have initiated the establishment of the Líšeň sobě association.
