Learlike, Greensleeved Company
The performance is presented in English with Czech surtitles. The venue is Komorní scéna Aréna (www.divadloarena.cz)
Learlike tells the well-known story of King Lear from the perspective of his daughters. These tireless tyrant-children may be new to power, but their methods of manipulation and deceit are old. Or are they? Even in the most corrupt families, the roots of resistance grow deep.
The performance is part of the international ShakeSphere project, held under the auspices of the European Shakespeare Festivals Network, of which we are a member. Learlike was selected from among 42 projects from dozens of countries.
Greensleeved is a European female ensemble consisting of Amber Frances (Belgium), Ariela Nazar-Rosen (Poland/USA), Lucy Doig (Scotland), Julia Vredenberg (Norway), and Cecilia Thoden van Velzen (Netherlands). After studying at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, they founded their company with the mission of reimagining classical works through a contemporary female lens. Learlike is intended to be the first of many.
