Musical - “Desire” - 2008

Musical “Desire” by Mirjam and Daniel Landa is loosely based on the hit film,”Kvaska”, by the same scriptwriting couple.
The story of the musical backstage underwent many significant changes in its transition from movie screen to theatrical stage, also there is a lot more music on stage than in the film. In addition, dance also plays a big role on stage. “I want “Desire” to be to a large extent a dance performance. I envisage scenes with purely dancing. That is why I am collaborating with choreographer, Pavel Strouhal, who is among the absolute top in our country," says Director and composer of the theme music and libretto, Mirjam Landa.
Actors are accompanied by a live band on stage, featuring the elite of Czech musicians.
The opening night of “Desire” was on 15th September, 2008.
Acting and Vocals: Lucie Vondráčková, Jan Kříž, Jiří Korn, Roman Pomajbo, Martin Písařík, Miroslav Hrabě, Zuzana Krištofová – Kolářová, Rudolf Hrušínský jr., Richard Tesařík, Jana Fabiánová and others.

Musical - “White Dalmatian” - 2009

This tale, which Mirjam Landa has interpreted as a modern musical performance, is about an exceptional Dalmatian who, due to the envy of an evil witch, is deprived of his beautiful colourful spots and who, with the help of friends, travels to Fairyland in search of them. Thanks to the fact that the musical genre enables many stylising elements, all colours and materials are contemporary, as well as the musical adaptation (Hip-Hop, Street, as well as Classical) under the musical direction of Jan Maxián (“Nightwork”), with the purpose of entertaining both children and parents.

The intention of the direction is to differ from the usual productions for children’s theatre, by means of the dialogue which is based on contemporary child language, naturally without the use of vulgarisms. The audience can expect a witty, but also moving, story of friendship, joy and sorrow, with the moral of helping others. Director Mirjam Landa has placed great emphasis especially on dance. Due to the diversity of the dance acts, several young choreographers who have experience with different musical genres, have collaborated on the musical numbers.

The premiere of this unusual musical will take place on 28th September, 2009.
