Arctic Robinson or the Unbelievable Wanderings of Jan Eskymo Welzl

About the Production: Let's conquer the freezing plains of Siberia and see the Eskimos together with a goldminer, adventurer and story-teller, who saw them in the flesh. In the past many people tried to reach the North Pole and many of them returned from the freezing Arctic frozen. However, 140 years ago in Zábřeh, the Czech Honza Welzl was born. He reached the North Pole on foot and settled there for thirty years. The Arctic Robinson is an adventure story of a journey to fulfil one's dreams and is intended for both children and adults. The action takes place in a giant igloo. It will take you to an ice kingdom way above the Polar Circle, on the edge of the world, which is called the Arctic. Only the most determined and skilful of men can survive in such severe conditions. Come to see how the Eskimos hunted without all the technical conveniences of our civilization. And how a native of Zábřeh became their chieftain.

About the Company: The Czech theatre company Wariot Ideal was founded last year on the basis of long-term collaboration between "Adriatik Presents" and the mime and actor Vojta Švejda. They have already created and performed several noteworthy projects together on the Czech alternative scene. The group ideally focuses on physical / comedic expression and also on improvisation and musical activities. Wariot Ideal tries to discover new possibilities in the area of artistic expression.
