I'll Sell the House in Which I Can Live No More
Tuesday, April 26, 2022, 7:00 PM
A theatrical séance inspired by the life and works of Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal, author of acclaimed novels I Served the King of England and Closely Watched Trains (the latter made into an Academy Award-winning film by Jiri Menzel in 1966). The performers make use of all the possible space in the theatre to introduce the audience to Hrabal’s magic world. On the stage you will see all the most important situations in a human life – birth, baptism, first communion, wedding, funeral, all of it depicted in a light, unpretentious and grotesque form.
This tale is delivered in a way typical of the KTO Theatre style: a performance without any words where the actors’ bodies, their movements and gestures and the music are the most important elements. This surreal and often-poignant journey through birth, first communion, marriage, and death relates to Hrabal more through its whimsical tone than any specific attempt at theatrical biography.

KTO Theatre
ul. Zamoyskiego 50
The KTO Theatre formally follows the tradition of street theatre, which has let it develop a unique language of communication.
The KTO was started in 1977 by a group of students of the Jagiellonian University. In its pursuits, the theatre follows the tradition of street theatre, which has let it develop a unique language of communication, to a large extent based on the body and expression of the actor, and to a lesser degree on the spoken word. The KTO has participated in numerous prestigious festivals all over the world and in open air-events in France, Germany, and Norway. For many years, it has organised the ULICA International Street Theatre Festival.
