A docu-theatre based on real events, in which the audience becomes the actors. An original production not only for teenagers about strong stories of dual heroes. About those who have lost stage fright = fear and act without inhibitions and about those who have lost stage fright = fear and act courageously and honestly. Stories of young exceptional and contradictory personalities from contemporary life about personal courage, eco-activism vs. eco-extremism, nationalism, neo-fascism or digital extremism presented in an action-packed, engaging and humorous way. The atmosphere of the play is enhanced by live music and songs.
The play is a new continuation of a successful project that was created during the City of Culture Banská Štiavnica 2019 and successfully resonated with its meaningfulness in many schools in Slovakia. Due to the unique form of the production, the capacity of the auditorium is limited to a maximum of 40 people.
The Ensemble of Irregular Theatre is an independent group of theatre professionals and friends of contemporary art with a similar humanistic mindset and worldview, based in Banská Štiavnica. It was established through the generational and programmatic transformation of the Kremnica Underground Theatre (2012–2017), which founded the Kremnica Gags Festival of Humor and Satire in 1981 and organized it for 25 years. AND is dedicated to finding new forms of modern cabaret, street and engaged productions. In 2016, it founded the international AMPLIFIER Festival – New Cabaret & Street Art in Banská Štiavnica. Its members were co-creators of the projects City of Culture Banská Štiavnica 2019 and City of Culture Humenné 2024.
