Essay On Light

Musaši Entertainment Company

22. 2. / 16.00 and 18.30 / Alfred ve dvoře

Czech (ENG subtit) / 45 min.

Essay on Light connects two main dramaturgical lines that the Musaši Entertainment Company has been developing. On the one hand, the genre of puppet theatre, and, on the other, a focus on experimental work. Essay on Light is therefore an experimental puppet production based on an interest in theatre technology and the belief that it is important to share with other theatre creators, theorists, critics and, above all, the audience, their reflections on creation and artistic form. Essay on Light aims to discover the possibilities of openly thinking about theatre through theatre itself and its own means, not only conceptually and metaphorically. We draw inspiration here from the world of film, specifically from the genre of audiovisual essay, which is more accurate and entertaining thanks to the use of the possibilities the medium has to offer.
