�� Artist Talk : May 5th(Mon), After the 1st Performance 


How the men are living at this time?

Is it perhaps too much for them sometimes?

When animal are awaken inside of the men, they couldn't resist the call of wolf pack. Six men start out on a journey to the wilderness, to find answers for the most inward questions. Coping with their own problems and mainly with themselves. Stagnation, suppressed aggression, homosexuality, faith or absent father. There is always something to solve. Just The fact that a man became father is reason to be proud of yourself. Let’s stop judging men with all the prejudices dictated by our society. Theatre show on the borders of many genres inspired by a true story of the men.


<Press Review>


'The piece is, though, a well-done and coherent probe into the life of men. An essay-like genre, it narrates in hints, it searches for connections. And it surprises. Which is proof of the real life behind it.'


Jana Bohutínská, Hospodářské noviny (daily newspaper)


"The essential element of the performance is the interplay of all the protagonists, their collective chemistry. It becomes an embellishment of Czech physical theater"


Jana Návratová, Taneční zóna
