The Epic of Gilgamesh (The Broken Epic)
We approach Gilgamesh, the Sumerian king, who dives to the bottom of the ocean for the plant of eternal life. What will he return with from his distant pilgrimage? Cathartic situations create a spark, the necessary intensity that allows us to gain insight into the inner world. Diving into unknown depths requires courage. But being courageous does not mean not being afraid. It becomes inevitable to search for what was in the beginning and in the process find passion but also the beauty of the ordinary, vibrating unrest, pleasure and death, humility and cohesion. An ancient epic broken in half. Quieter heroes emerge from the cracks. Sensitive hearts. Brave souls who fall deep to take off. The performance is recommended for audiences 15+. It also warns viewers that the performance uses a strobe light and loud music.

Concentus Moraviae: Dasha & Epoque Quartet & Šimon Veselý
The Ellaboration project by singer Dasha and the Epoque Quartet refers to the American music legend Ella Fitzgerald. It is the songs made famous by this jazz icon that the artists develop or elaborate into new, fresh positions. The specific and amazingly complex sound of the combination of a string quartet with various percussion instruments (hangdrum, vibraphone, cajon), with which Šimon Veselý excels, gives our lead singer Dasha the space to demonstrate her uniqueness in a slightly different field than we are used to. The author of most of the arrangements is the arranger wizard and violist of the quartet, Alexej Aslamas.
