THE BLACK RIDER

A gripping true crime story with the unmistakable music of Tom Waits and the chillingly poetic libretto of William S. Burroughs. The story of a brave young man who makes a devilish pact for the sake of fateful love. A cult trip through a landscape of passion, buried memories, and dangerously tempting possibilities, now on the Czech stage for the first time. Wilhelm loves Katynka. Katynka loves Wilhelm. But her father doesn't want to give Katynka to Wilhelm because Wilhelm is not a hunter. How do you teach someone who has only ever held a pen to use a rifle? All it takes is one mysterious stranger and a handful of enchanted bullets. But the devil's bullets know best who their target is.

The songs are in the original English with Czech subtitles. Photo credits: Patrik Borecký
