About the troupe/characteristics of the collective:

Ateliér Bez StropU is a creative collective based on openness in both form and content. It brings together members and

collaborators through a shared vision for their work and an experimental approach to theater.

It works in alternative, street, and site-specific spaces, but also moves just as naturally into

traditional theater settings. It embraces the principles of multimedia and visually layered theater.

Thematically, the company focuses on fundamental social issues and leans toward original and absurd poetics.

It supports the creation of new texts and artists who approach the world without prejudice or normative

restrictions. It does not limit itself to any specific genre; it uses the tragicomic principle as a means of sensitively uncovering

social stereotypes.

A Word About the Production:

TRE PONTI A Comedy of Two Millennia The story traces the journey of comedy as a theatrical genre across

three eras. The ancient philosopher Neavius guides us through the introduction. He draws us into the story of the characters’ fates

through an amulet, which is a symbolic and key element of the production. The main

protagonists are also two lovers who are fatefully tormented by unfulfilled love, and this archetype

appears in each of the individual acts, which Neavius mysteriously unravels. Against the backdrop of these events,

a borrowed, temporary immortality takes shape. The unsuspecting characters are transported through time. They find themselves in

Renaissance Italy, in the era of street comedy, led by none other than the ringmaster Neavius. He

is the only one who can consciously grasp the absurdity and bitterness of this comedy. The lovers, however, long to escape from

the archetypes of these ill-fated times and seek a path to the New World. September 1, 1939. The Nazis have invaded Poland, and

the action shifts to Chicago, where the descendants of Rome migrated en masse, and now a handful of them find themselves in the bar

of local boss Papp. Yet the amulet, which travels through all the acts, finds the lovers and fulfills the fate of suffering

spanning two millennia. The story ends with a tragic epilogue for Neavia, now nothing more than a vagabond wallowing in the rubbish heap

of history.
