In the spring of 1967, The F. X. Šalda Theatre became the first Czechoslovak  scene, on which stage Demons by Dostoyevsky appeared after the war, and it was in the famous adaptation by Albert Camus. After more than fifty years  we are coming back to this theme, this time in our own dramatization,  originating directly for The F. X. Šalda Theatre. Its author is the director connected with The Prague Švanda Theatre in the lately, Dodo Gombár.  He understands Dostoevsky's famous novel  not  only as an evidence of human society, but above all as a search the corners of the human soul. Demons do not only lead to revolutions, demons are a storm inour inward space. Inside ourselves there are hidden the greatest mysteries of the universe...

Gombár´s  performance is not only based on classical drama, but he also takes musicians and
dancers to help. The result is so-called "total theater" that attacks not only reason, but also oursenses. A chosen  scenic key contributes to that: we play the performance “reversely”,  when viewers sit on the stage facing the auditorium.
