Tomáš Janypka (ZDRUHESTRANY)

Divadlo X10 / English / 45 min

Every human is a lonely cowboy, imprinted with the landscape that surrounds them: the mountains, the city, the amalgam of ideas, images, ideals, icons and human behaviour. We find ourselves on the threshold of a scattered time when we can stop looking for patterns on the map, in the footsteps of heroism, and in the desert of patterns and memories from the past. We can draw our own individual maps where hierarchy doesn't reign among our stories and where gentleness, uncertainty and doubt are qualities equal to determination, strength and fearlessness. What are the attributes the ideal cowboy of today should hold? What would the ideal cowboy be, incarnated by a man - Tomáš Janypka? Loneliness as a question and an answer alike.
"Once upon a time, there was a man, or a boy, a cowboy."
