Play on my heart!
Play on my heart!
the musical story of the immortal bohemian Karol Duchoň as you have never heard it before.
The true story comes to life with beautiful music and excellent dramatic performances directed by Karol Vosátek.
Greatest hits performed by Martin Gyimesi such as Zem pamätá, V slovakých doliny, Smútok krásnych dívčat, Chardáš dva srdc, Pieseň oDecember, Play on my heart, I feel, I like dancing with you, Elena, I play, Primate's heart, Girl from Budmerice, I like you, I like people, He went, he went, With a smile and....we'll keep that as a surprise.
Experience Karol Duchoń from winning to losing. From his greatest glory to his steepest fall. The story chronicles the man's life journey, from his carefree youth through his bohemian life to his tragic and sad end. It leaves the question in the background as to whether this legend could have been 'saved', whether we value true talents and personalities enough. Whether we can perceive the mute cry of a seemingly successful, immediate person loving life. Whether we can discern the fear and the need for ordinary help behind its lightness.
This story will not just chart the achievements of a great artist in the form of his greatest hits, but more importantly the need to perceive the other 'me', namely the life of an ordinary person. We will allow the audience to enter the soul of this great man of ours to the very tip of his intimacy, to uncover the gilding of showbiz, the ups, the downs, the successes and the failures. But behind it all, we must show his desire to never give up and to feel the full flavour of life. For as they say... 'Living is the art of living'.
