Premiere in Skandinavia .
In the beginning of the 20th century an actor, illusionist and owner of a cheap cabaret makes his dreams come true in magical Prague.
He is obsessed with the technical miracles happening around him; film, photography and the scratchy sound of the phonograph. His favorite fantasy is to drive across the landscape of Arizona, drinking whiskey with weather-beaten gunfighters in a saloon, holding gorgeous women in his arms.
At least that is the picture he gets from the silent movie, ”The Wild West”, and from yellowing photographs which tell stories from a far-away land.
Because he lives his life on the line between illusion and reality, it is not difficult for his to take a trip into a dream world.
Enter into this illusion, when Forman Brothers Theatre from Prague spotlights live music, puppets, singers, dancers, illusionists and acrobats. Experience the exhilaration of this unique form of total theatre.
After Theatre Forman Brothers Wild West Show ”DEADTOWN” you will be able to buy a drink or a glass of wine in the saloon’s bar.
The performance will be held in the theater´s own building at the harbour in Silkeborg. The building is heated.
