Bar

Do you know the one about six Hamlets walking into a bar and ordering a single espresso? Or the one about the Belgian sandwich? What happens in a theatre bar during a performance? How do theatre performers spend time before their next entrance? How much time do the lighting masters have until the next light change they need to execute - and how do they fill it?

Bar as a meeting place, a battleground, and a substitute bench between scenes. This site-specific performance takes place directly in the café of Divadlo Na zábradlí and offers an unusual perspective on theatre. It draws partly from real stories that unfolded during regular operations "behind the backs" of unsuspecting audience members, running parallel to the performance on stage.

So, do you know the one about Richard coming to the bar and ordering his third beer?
