An object theatre piece inspired by the book by Helena Černohorská.
The new project by the creative collective Špatné divadlo is based on Černohorská’s work of the same name. Ida is an object–puppet performance that focuses primarily on themes and atmospheres rather than a linear storyline. We immerse ourselves in images of a countryside reshaped and distorted by the onset of socialism: endless labour, physical exhaustion, and the human relationship to the land. Anger and sorrow are channelled into work, while fragile everyday joys are celebrated: white coffee, cherry cake, freshly baked bread generously sprinkled with salt, or a gulp of icy water from a well.
