THE STAND'ART CLASSICS
Divadlo Vosto5 / CZ

cast
Ondar Cihlář, Jura Havelka, Tomina Jeřábek, Petar Prokop

The simultaneous opening and last night of an open theatre/dance show in which the guys Ondar, Petar, Tomina and Jura have a go once again with their efforts to make the most of their improvising standards. Nothing more and nothing less!


Vosto5 Theatre was founded in 1978 by the four-year-old Tomáš Jeřábek. His authorial one-man company soon became famous through performing on TV shows with his own Uncle Jedlička alongside whom little Tomáš appeared in an irreproducible part of a dead piggy. After a family crisis broke out, eventually leading to abandoning the tyrant Uncle, Tomina invited little Péťa (Prokop) to join his company.
In 1979, a couple of friends always in each other's pocket, David Kašpar and Onřej Cihlář, joined the two. In the following year, the fresh Jiří Havelka was born into the company. The line-up was now complete and the Golden Age of Vosto5 braced with many a success was about to start. They won audience awards at festivals Puppet Rumburk and Havířov Miner's Lamp or the Main Prize at The Nutcracker's Clown festival and, most importantly, the Silver Thalia at Clown's Ham Sausage Festival, to name but a few...

Vosto5 are frequent (and one of the most popular) guests of the Flora Theatre Festival: alongside their traditional theatre/music performances, in recent years, the festival hosted e.g. their productions Košičan 3 (2006), Caravan Europe (Karavan Evropa, 2007) or The Filthyple Hand (Špialová ruka, 2008). After a year's break, they are back at Olomouc's Konvikt with their unmistakable theatre poetics and a brand new production, Theatr-O-Mat (premiered on April 29, 2010).
