Tomáš Janypka: Lonesome Cowboy

Every person is a lonesome cowboy, reflecting the landscape that surrounds them—mountains, cities, the world of thoughts, images, ideals, icons, and human behaviour. What could and should a cowboy of today be? What should an ideal cowboy in the form of a human, Tomáš Janypka, be like?

We find ourselves on the threshold of a fractured era, where we can stop looking for clues on the map, heroism in footprints, and role models or memories of the past in the desert. We can draw our own individual maps, where no hierarchy governs our stories, and where gentleness, uncertainty, and doubt are valued just as much as determination, strength, and courage. What could and should a cowboy of today be? What would an ideal cowboy look like in the form of a human—Tomáš Janypka?

Loneliness as both a question and an answer. 

“Once upon a time, there was a man, or a boy, a cowboy.“



The performance includes live music performed by Brno musician Tomáš Vtípil. For his performance, Tomáš Janypka received a wider nomination for last year's Thalia Awards for alternative theatre.
