Ondrej Šoth, Zuzana Mistríková: HOMELAND

A new author's project by director and choreographer Ondrej Šoth.

The choreographers of three generations will take the audience through Slovakia and give them a glimpse into a deep well of folk customs and traditions. One hundred years is a long journey, and on the way you sometimes have to stop and look around. Who we are and where we come from. The performance will also be a celebration of our homeland, our Slovak and Czech traditions. The main motive of which is the story of a Czech girl and a Slovak boy, with which the girl's parents disagree, because they want her to marry her a rich boy. The performance is dedicated to the anniversary of the establishment of an independent Czechoslovakia and the life anniversary of Juraj Kubánka, his 90th birthday.

For more information about the performance, visit the National Theatre Košice website…
