Future Local Star Hochman Plays Former Global Star Thunberg

Description

Humorous theater from the time of climate disruption. How to talk about the climate crisis when the world prefers to watch a celebrity-filled gala instead of the melting glaciers? A one-man show by Marek Kristián Hochman, directed by Michal Hába, is a bitterly comedic statement about the helplessness of individuals and society in the face of the greatest threat of our time. At the center of the action is actor Mark Kristián Hochman, whose personal story becomes part of the play. At a time when he is experiencing a turning point in his career – a role in a series, moving from Brno to Prague, increasing visibility – he becomes a mirror for the famous Swedish activist. Hochman, nominated for this performance for the Thálie Award, becomes a hyperactive puppet in the hands of the director. The production alternates between satire, grotesque, and direct contact with the audience, which faces threats from both a tennis ball and planet Earth. This production, full of pop culture references and unexpected connections, poses the question: Does one have to be a celebrity to talk about climate and be heard? And who does society actually listen to today? Hába, known for his politically bold and provocative style, creates an entertaining yet urgent theatrical manifesto, where "ecopolitics" emerges as the only way out. Prepare for an energetic ride full of humor, smoke machines, and uncertainties – in a world where the thick atmosphere is not only created by greenhouse gases. 💥 The production is suitable for those who: - are fans of Marek Kristián Hochman. - admire Greta, but also for those who do not understand her. - suffer from environmental grief or simply care about the climate but are tired of moralizing and apocalyptic pathos. #eco #political #survival #monodrama #fast #humorous #gretathunberg #70minutes Please note that smoke effects are used in this production.
