Mates Petrák Returns to Ostrava!

​

A talented graduate of HAMU, with performances under his belt with Losers Cirque Company and the National Theatre (and undoubtedly much more ahead), brings his graduation show Memento Mori to Studio G. You can look forward to the powerful trio of Matěj's skills: acrobatics, pantomime, and humor.

​

Come and enjoy a dark yet entertaining New Year’s Tuesday evening with this horror grotesque, proving that pantomime is far from dead. Humor for the bold included!

Dead pantomime…

Is pantomime really dead? Slapstick horror and humor for the stout of heart.

A lonely creature. Too strange for the living and too lively for the dead.

Waiting. Until the clock strikes. For you too.

​

Is he alive? Or is he simply watching himself from above, eking out the last of his days?

The gravedigger’s story reveals the predestination and fickleness of man’s fate, and our inability to reverse the course of any of this. Sarcasm and hyperbole go hand in hand with lyrical pantomime. The language of the body is used to recount those critical moments in one’s life that are most cruel. The Sisyphean work of gravedigger Azrael is a sitcom in chains that puts a smile on your face while the humor cuts to the bone.
