To Hajan!will introduce the Hradec Králové Drak Theater in the new clown for children<

The new title designed mainly for children from the age of three stands on the border of poetic physical theater and clown grotesque.Dreamy images with gags alternate on stage, which was influenced by the audience address.

Director with stage designer Marianna Stránská came out of the situation familiar to children and parents: after a day's hustle.However, children are still in energy, they definitely do not want to sleep and their fantasy is going to full speed.

This is the moment when the real world turns dreamy and thanks to the child's imagination, shadows come to life on the walls, ghosts are hidden under the bed, and the rooms are coming to the pillow battle.

Veronika Poldauf Riedlbauchová drew from considerable experience with the physical theater, but also from a thorough knowledge of the children's audience and created a nonverbal poetic clown grotesque in the dragon.

“The child's viewer prefers the physical theater is that its laws are playfulness, action and visuality.In my previous productions, I found that, for example.Movement can express the situation as well as the word, the carrier of the meaning is the shape and size of the gesture, body energy, combination of movement elements, tempo -gytm, phase accuracy and more, ”explains.

“At the same time, the way of moving will easily transfer you to the imaginary world and close to childhood thinking.For example, just lighten the center of gravity and slow down to believe that you are flying a balloon.The movement dictionary also has the advantage that it can play one situation in variations indefinitely without literally repeating, similar to children's rhymes and games, ”says the director and choreographer.

The scene and music are underlined by acting gags

The dream atmosphere of the production underlines the minimalist scenography.

“Marianna Stránská placed a large bed with a duvet and lots of pillows, the rear wall and the floor covered with a fabric with the same decor based on the wall paintings as we know it from childhood.None of the props on the stage is self -purposeful, three actors actively work with them actively and create a world full of games and imagination on the scene, ”says Martina Marková from Dragon.

The music was created in direct interaction with the composer Jan Čtvrtník, is an integral part of the directorial concept, responds directly to the acting events, captures the feelings and moods of the characters and with the movement and visual component is the bearer of the storyline.

A physically demanding production has become a challenge for three experienced members of the ensemble, Petra Cicáková and Luděk Smadiš, such as Dad Dominik Linka, will perform in the roles of children.

“The third and last phase of the testing is the longest and most demanding.It is the phase of the detailed building of the performance in which it crystallizes the final shape of the entire composition.A phase in which you need to prepare functional elements from tens to hundreds of hours of accumulated and filmed material, re -connect them together and grip it to a single hour.It is an ant craft work, difficult not only mentally but for actors physically.The actors have to repeat and regroup a number of movements and leave after a day's rehearsal as after the established marathon, ”says the director.

To Hajan!It is the second dragon premiere in the new season, the first was the epic "Steampunk puppet grotesque" by Jakub Vašíček and Tomáš Jarkovský.
