À propos
On your marks, get set, go! Discover the true story of the famous athlete Emil Zátopek, the fastest man on Earth. Thierry Romanens and the electro-jazz trio Format A?3 tell the unique story of this hero in their own way. A breathtaking theatrical and musical race, launched at full speed!
Emil runs fast. He runs so fast that for 10 years, he'll be the fastest human being on earth. Are his lungs abnormally rich in oxygen? Is his heart hypertrophied? Not even close. Emil Zátopek is a normal guy with an incredible destiny! Nicknamed "the Czech locomotive", the athlete who set 18 world records and won three gold medals at the 1952 Olympic Games in Helsinki, enjoyed an irresistible rise to prominence, only to fall suddenly. The legendary runner spent 6 years at hard labor in uranium mines, unjustly condemned after supporting Dubcek during the Prague Spring in 1968.
Franco-Swiss actor, musician, poet and singer Thierry Romanens transposes Jean Echenoz?s novel to the stage, making it explode with intensity. Accompanied by cinematic music, he directs the melodies and words to tell us this unheard-of tale.
With bite, humor and sensitivity, we follow this uplifting story of extraordinary perseverance and self-transcendence.
A summit of poetic energy that will sweep you off your feet in wonder.
Go for it!
