Divadlo Polárka: The NeverEnding Story

Description

A fight for life beyond the boundaries of the real world What is that black on the horizon? It looks like… NOTHING. And it's coming… From all sides! The Empress of Fantasia calls upon the hero Atreyu to save the realm. Will she succeed? And will it help Bastian's mom? Bastian Baltazar Bux is an eleven-year-old boy living with normal parents in a normal house in a normal neighborhood. But then… Mom gets sick and everything is turned upside down! Bastian is targeted by a feared group of classmates. On top of that, he has to get used to a new teacher who leads a systematic fight against everything that deviates from the norm. And to make matters worse, his father is changing before his eyes – he hardly speaks to Bastian, wrinkles are appearing on his face, and one never knows when an unpredictable outburst of anger will come. Bastian finds refuge from the world in a mysterious book that fate brings into his hands. He starts reading and finds himself in a world that seems strangely familiar: in the endless realm inhabited by mythical beings. In Fantasia. The hero Atreyu fighting for its salvation needs Bastian's help. Bastian wants to return home as quickly as possible, but what about the Nothing? What if it comes for his world too? cast Jaroslav Tomáš, Anna Hřebíčková, Václav Dvořák, Alfred Texel Schmidtke, Kateřina Francová, Denisa Cupáková, Bára Horčičková, Ondřej Kolín j. h., Kamil Bačovský, Vít Malecha, Vojtěch Surý direction Adam Steinbauer dramaturgy Dagmar Haladová set and costumes Magdalena Teleky light design and light objects Jonáš Garaj music Martin Srpek Konvička light Ondřej Coufal sound Tomáš Mohr technicians Vojtěch Surý and Jáchym Panáček photo Dominika Prášková
