Jonathan Livingston Seagull


After the successful The Jungle Book project, DEKKADANCERS and the Czech Philharmonic present another joint project. It will be a dance performance with spoken word about freedom and knowledge - Jonathan Livingston Seagull based on the cult literary work by Richard David Bach. The best dancers of the contemporary scene and leading Czech actors Jiří Lábus and Vilém Udatný will meet on stage. Ondřej Vinklát, a three-time Thalia winner for dance, will direct and choreograph. The original music for the precise performers of the Czech Philharmonic was written by Ivan Acher.

Duration of the programme 1 hour 10 minutes
