Wie die L\u00f6wen<\/em> (Like Lions) by Roman Sikora, directed by: Michal H\u00e1ba | photo: Lachende Bestien<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The hero of this dark comedy is Herr M., a sly, ruthless banker who sells bad loans to his clients. When he loses all his property due to an accident and the medical treatment he undergoes as a result of it, he suddenly finds himself on the street, homeless. But even then, he continues to adhere to his belief in free-market economics, and founds a university to teach his fellow homeless people team-buidling and coaching. In this production, director Michal H\u00e1ba dissects our society and reveals the inhumane capitalist principles that underlie it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lachende Bestien<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Prague-based alternative theatre group Lachende Bestien was formed around director Michal H\u00e1ba, musician Jind\u0159ich \u010c\u00ed\u017eek and set designer Adriana \u010cern\u00e1 in 2011. It is considered to be one of the most progressive theatre groups in Prague. The ensemble was founded in the Eliade Library of the
Divadlo Na z\u00e1bradl\u00ed (On the banister Theatre) in Prague, where they presented their first production 120 Days of Freedom<\/em> (Nov\u00e1 s\u00ed\u0165 Award for performer Michal H\u00e1ba), a variation on de Sade\u2019s controversial novel, which dealt with the limits of imagination. This production became emblematic
of the group\u2019s work, which aims to go \u201cagainst the viewer\u2019s guts\u201d and invites active dialogue. Other important productions include the Czech premiere of Werner Schwab’s Pornogeographie<\/em> (Josep Balv\u00edn Award) or the Havelian production Ferdinand!<\/em> (Ferdinande!<\/em>), following the spirit of Havel’s one-act plays in exploring the topic of the intellectual in the public sphere. In 2017, the company staged an adaptation of Bertolt Brecht’s The Good Woman of Setzuan<\/em>, entitled SEZUAN (based on Brecht)<\/em>, in a grotesquely alienating style. Their repertoire mostly includes original projects, but they also adapt \u201ctraditional\u201d theatre texts \u2013 such as Ibsen\u2019s Enemy of the People<\/em> (2019) or Roman Sikora\u2019s Castle on the Loire<\/em> (2020). The style of the Lachende Bestien company strongly relies on the music and live performances of composer and multi-instrumentalist Jind\u0159ich \u010c\u00ed\u017eek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lachende Bestien continue the tradition of Brechtian theater not only through their alienating style of acting, but especially with their analytical view of reality. In their projects, they explore and question the
idea of \u200b\u200bcapitalism and take a programmatic approach to social inequality. The result of this is a socially critical and appealing theatre, full of self-irony and biting humour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group Lachende Bestien performs in Prague at the X10 Theatre<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
