L´OMBRE / THE SHADOW

rock/chanson cabaret by Sylvie Krobová and Bilbo the clown

The wistful, raw, nostalgic, intimate cries of the songs of Syvlie Krobová broken up with Bilbo the clown‘s surrealistic texts, improvisations, and black humour, plus a guest appearance by l´Ombre, the man with the giant head. Sylvie Krobová’s compositions reveal the bitterly gentle, nostalgically intimate, emotionally affecting tones of her heart. She has composed and played her own songs since the year 2000 and as a singer performance co-creator has work on performances by ”Bilbo compagnie“. Until 2005 she made appearances as a solo chanson singer, either accompanying herself on the accordion, or with the support of La Bouche. Her fans include Václav Havel, Zdeněk Svěrák and Jaroslav Uhlíř. At present she is working with drummer and music producer Štěpán Smetáček on her debut album and live appearances with a new band.

Bilbo compagnie presents comic theatre ( Baron von Munchhausen, The Death of Comedy I, II,…). The company was founded by Jiří Bilbo Reidinger, who has travelled throughout Europe and Japan with the Ctibor Turba’s Alfred company, and appeared as guest performer at the National Theatre, the Na zábradlí Theatre, and the Theatre v Dlouhé. Recently he wrote two children’s books on the travels of the Bilbo family with the Chauve circus (to be published by Baobab.).
