The first scenic comics tells the life story of a poet Bliss who lives in the attic of the tallest building in town, not only on the edge of earth and heaven, but also on the edge of a funny dream and a ridiculous reality. The narrative flow is inspired by comic strips and the poetry of animated pictures. Švejda works with swatches elements of comics - short cut, montage, burlesque stylization. The actor’s work is based on clowning and pantomime, enriched by sound effects. The live musical accompaniment of a contrabass and clarinet complete the atmosphere of the performance and provide an original and lively communication with the actor.
the performasce was supported by Prague 7.
