Event description:
"If you are walking at this
hour and in this place, you must be looking for something—and I am sure I can
help you with that."
A dealer and a customer meet in The Solitude of Cotton Fields in the dead of
night, at an abstract location. A verbal probing begins, yet what the
transaction is about—what is being bought or sold—remains in the shadows.
Instead, the audience witnesses a dangerous dialogue in virtuoso language,
exploring desire and fulfillment, emotion and knowledge, power and sexuality.
Russian directing prodigy Timofey Kulyabin, making his debut at the Hybernia
Theatre Prague, places the unspeakable—the societal taboo—at the center of his
production. Desire as shame, love as longing and impossibility, trade as the
dominant modality of human relationships: U.S. Hollywood star John Malkovich
and award-winning Lithuanian-British actress Ingeborga Dapkūnaitė masterfully
and grippingly navigate one of modernity's most enigmatic works in shifting
roles.
