FALLEN OLYMP

“When man becomes God, everything will be permitted.” — Fyodor M. Dostoevsky

All roads lead back to Greece.

Family above everything— the audience is cordially invited to the table of the most traditional family of them all: to Mount Olympus, home of the pantheon of Greek gods.

Welcome to a heavenly spa resort, a retirement home for deities who have lost the very reason for their existence. Sweet—and often bitter—boredom gives way to existential crises and desperate cries. Time moves on, and the Graeae slowly draw closer to the threads of fate, for even the gods are not exempt from an ending. What becomes of a deity that has lost its followers? What remains of a god who has lost its meaning?

Fallen Olymp is a project that has been developing since the very beginning of the existence of PINKBUS PLATFORM. A collective performance on the sliding in between theatre and installation brings the members of the rich Greek pantheon within arm’s reach. PINKBUS PLATFORM invites audiences to immerse themselves in a world long believed to be dead—yet one whose principles continue to shape our lives, consciously or unconsciously.

The project is supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic, the Czech State Cultural Fund, and Venuše ve Švehlovce.
