For the first time at Mariánská Louka in Děčín

What kind of program can you look forward to?

#FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4

6:00 p.m. – "Naked Shakespeare" Cabaret – Tramtárie Theater

• A classic—but definitely not the kind you've ever experienced in Czech class

• We’ll strip the Bard of Straftord of his historical pathos and his unnecessary trappings. Five Shakespearean tragedies crammed into an explosive comedy full of humor, improvisation, and raw truth. Get ready for Hamlet and Othello to have you in fits of laughter.

   

9:00 p.m. Vojtaano - A singer-songwriter who tells it like it is

• Stand-up comedy with a guitar, sharp, no-holds-barred lyrics, and energy that’s sure to shake off your Friday fatigue. Vojtaano serves up a dose of irony, catchy melodic riffs, and humor drawn from everyday life. The perfect way to kick off a festival evening with a beer in hand.
