A subscription series for all those who seek more than just entertainment in the theatre. The selection for advanced audiences for the 105th theatre season at the SND includes a production that won the prestigious DOSKY award, plays that hold up a mirror, and those that remind us of the sins of the past. They are directed by women and men who are among the most prominent personalities of the Czechoslovak theatre and are not afraid to provoke or experiment. The production of Kocúrkovo [Gotham City], directed by Rastislav Ballek, awarded with four DOSKY prizes, including one for the best production of the season, caused a stir right after the première. Ján Chalupka's satirical comedy at the SND takes the form of an energy-packed theatre that will make you reflect. The Request Concert, a silent, hyper-realistic experiment directed by Kamila Polívková and accompanied by a live performance by Katarzia, alternates the conversational and musical content of Kocúrkovo [Gotham City]. It is a title for all those who believe that in a drama performance, not a word needs to be spoken. The Conformist is a study of the mechanism of emerging totalitarianism and a story about the desire to find a place in society, even at the cost of blood. Another production by the director Roman Polák, that refreshes the historical memory. The production Under Western Eyes poses many questions. It tells the story of a man who tried to navigate his way through an authoritarian regime without harm but was prevented from doing so by chance. Is it possible to preserve human dignity in totalitarianism without risking imprisonment, mutilation or death? The Dog on the Road is a dramatisation of the novel that won the Anasoft Litera Readers' and Women Readers' Prize. Pavel Vilikovský's captivatingly realistic and self-ironising narrative about the Slovak mentality, directed by the Czech star director Dušan D. Pařízek. The première title, The Cunning Little Vixen, will open the 105th season of the SND Opera. The production of Leoš Janáček's fundamental work in musical staging by the world-renowned conductor Juraj Valčuha and directed by the internationally acclaimed Slovak director Sláva Daubnerová promises an experience for all theatre connoisseurs.
