Combination of the unique language of composer Petr Hora and the BERG Orchestra with the imagination and creativity of director Jiří Austerlitz Adámek and his theatre voiceband ensemble Boca Loca Lab. The stage composition is loosely based on the autobiographical novel In the Eye of the Wild by French writer and anthropologist Nastassja Martin. In it, the author comes to terms with a fateful event in which she was attacked by a bear while conducting field research among indigenous tribes in Kamchatka. Her recounting shifts from an analytical description of events to the borderline between dream and myth. The authors focused on the non-rational processes and the fact that after the attack, a piece of the beast remains in the woman and a piece of the woman remains in the beast. They only used a few sentences from the novel, which then disintegrate and create an imaginative landscape of sounds in which the woman meets her beast.
