Rest in Euphoria.

The show is not suitable for children under 15 years of age!


“Rest in Euphoria, a performance inspired by the early 20th-century Czech cabaret scene as well as the worlds of La Clique, Moulin Rouge, and Blanc de Blanc, is one of the highlights of the spring season. A visually stunning cabaret featuring 18 acrobats—half of them from abroad—you can expect disciplines rarely seen here, such as hair hanging. The music, composed and performed live by Katarzia, is guaranteed to stay in your head for days. After 34 performances, the show will bid farewell, so take one last chance to let your mind rest and experience euphoria, unique acts, and the purity of the human body—a reaction that sparked controversy after the premiere.”

Vít Neznal, Dramaturg of Jatka78

What is the path to euphoria? What does one have to do to feel it? Is it enough to look at a work of art? To be close to nature? Or does one have to reach for the stars to have a taste of it?

Excitement. Decadence. Music. Rhythm. The body. Experience. Cabaret. Spectacle. Euphoria.

Rosťa Novák Jr.’s new production will bring you to a place where you can forget not only your everyday worries, but also the existence of time and space, and be free to experience anything that comes to you. A place that is created in the moment, here and now, just for you. A place where you can rest in euphoria.

Together we will explore nature, nudity, rhythm, humour, the grotesque, and satire. A constellation of eight Czech and eight international circus stars will ignite your imagination with sixteen different forms of euphoria.

The show is inspired by the glorious history of the early 20th century Czech cabaret scene. You will find out what Voskovec and Werich have in common with cabarets such as La Clique, Moulin Rouge, and Blanc de Blanc.

Come on in! Walk through a door that lets you into a world where anything can happen. We’ll fall into euphoria together, into a world of intimate experiences from which we may never want to return.
