REEN

„...REEN is kickin´! Václav Kuneš has managed to bring onto the stage lightness and directorial humor.“ (M. Faustová, The Theater Newspaper)

Inspired by personal experience: how does one plan coming back to a well known place after some time? And how does one live through it? Heraclitus said: “You cannot step twice into the same river. Everything changes and nothing remains still.” Coming back has many different forms.

Our memories of places from remote past are usually blurred,
in many cases even misleading: whether consciously
or unconsciously, we tend to idealize them. It is the very places that change and we ourselves change too. We get older. Which is why we discover new things where we would never expect to.
Is it then possible to come back to a place we once knew and experience emotions we keep in our memory from the past?

“In recent years I have had several opportunities to work either on shows with live music on stage or with a composer involved throughout in the creative process. Such close and intense co-operation has been new to me and from now onwards
I would like to stick to this way of working,” says Václav Kuneš, the author of the show.
