OVERVIEW

Stage director Janusz Klimsza

 
Dramatization of one of the most significant novels about Ostrava, which in a very original way tells stories of citizens living in this multinational city on the background of a football club history. The football history in Ostrava does not begin in the Bazaly stadium, but in the Silesian Kamenec, near which Ota Filip was growing up. Together with football players of FC Slezská Ostrava (today’s FC Baník Ostrava) we will experience the fundamental moments of the modern history. The First Republic, Nazism, communism, Prague Spring, normalization. Czechs, Poles, Prajzská people, Jews. This all is seen through the eyes of the main character, who has the ability to fly and talk to the dead. Magnificent theatre which is as amusing as cruel. Same as the time of which he speaks.

World premiere on 20 February 2021 at the Jiří Myron Theatre
