Dark Blue Hedgehog... Wait, Just a Little While Longer...

A tragicomic theatrical revue with dance about an extraordinary human life.

This multi-genre production draws on the musical legacy of composer Jaroslav Ježek (1906–1942), who died at age 35 and left behind an extensive body of orchestral, chamber, and song compositions. His ability to move between serious music, theatre and film work, and commercial styles at the edge of the avant-garde made him one of the leading Czech composers of the 20th century.

The text of the production is based on Ježek's correspondence, available factual literature, and memories of his friends. It is not a literal biography, but rather an exploration of his creative spirit, thinking, and essence — while also serving as a platform for contemporary creators through new dramatic text, original music, and choreography.

The production develops Ježek's passion for transforming musical themes, improvisation, and working with text, fantasy, and fiction.
