*HAMU graduation performance*
A piece about a zealous slap-around for happiness despite all the intrigues that the sneaky 21st century would foist. Acted, clowned and trapezed by Eliska Brtnicka and Jakub Skrdla. A graduation performance by Eliska Brtnicka, 3rd year of Department of Non-verbal and Comedial Theatre at the HAMU.
“In an open sea with a leaky boat, you have two options – to swim hard towards the shore or drown. You choose the third – you slap in the sea.”
Buster Keaton
