Weeds You Can’t Pull Out!
To strict gardeners, dandelions are nothing but weeds. They keep pulling them out, but they always grow back again—just like two wild girls who were born from them. They are not afraid to sing about what happens in the depths of the earth and in the roots of children’s souls. And when they get tired of performing, they turn into white fluffy balls and let the wind scatter them into silence.
They met in Brno at Husa na provázku Theatre (Goose on a String Theatre). Anička came there from Prague, leaving her role as a saxophonist and singer in the band Jablkoň behind in order to take up an engagement in Brno. Anežka had just graduated from JAMU and got a dog. They have been friends for 17 years, sharing both personal and artistic experiences.
Thanks to this friendship, the performances Jana je panna - Jane is a Virgin, Frutti di mare, Teta Bažantová - Aunt Pheasant, and Mia nosí Pradu - Mia Wears Prada were created. Their newest heartfelt project is the band Panpelišky (Mr. Dandelions) and Zimní Vločky (Winter Snowflakes). This year, Anežka received the Theatre News Award for Best Leading Performance for her role at Divadlo Na Zábradlí (Theatre on the Balustrade), and Anička will soon be seen in a Czech Television documentary drama portraying the painter Zdenka Braunerová.
