Aviators | Perform Czech

Wariot Ideal tells the story of the young men who joined the foreign resistance with the goal of defeating Hitler, halting the wave of death spreading across Europe, and liberating their occupied homeland. After a dangerous escape and a difficult journey, they arrive in Great Britain, where, instead of being immediately sent into battle, they face hours of boring English lessons, learning to fly in formation (but only on bicycles), and seemingly endless military training. Eventually, however, they find themselves inside slow and heavy bombers that are easy targets for German fighters and for the Third Reich’s ground-based air defenses.

About the Company

Wariot Ideal has been a distinctive presence on the Czech indepedent scene since 2009. During this time, the ensemble has created many unique, for the most part comic, theatre productions for both adults and children. Vojtěch Švejda, Jan Kalivoda, Jan Dörner and producer Milena Dörnerová together create original works including impro shows, movement theater, mime and physical theater, but also full-length drama productions.

Venue

Alfred ve dvoře, produced by Motus, is a space for live art, presenting progressive artistic creations and unique, authorial projects by Czech and international artists and performers. The performances it presents are open to all relevant influences, combining different forms of theatre that foreground the body with new technological possibilities of the present.
