An original musical written specifically for the DJKT Small Stage, To Embrace the Waves is inspired by the final days of Romantic playwright, poet, and writer Heinrich von Kleist. In the autumn of 1811, Heinrich and his close friend Henriette—who had just left her husband—retreated to Lake Wannsee near Berlin. But Heinrich’s soul is as restless as the waves on the lake’s surface, and no less changeable are the many faces of love.

To Embrace The Waves

Divadlo Josefa Kajetána Tyla

When nightclub singer Deloris Van Cartier becomes an unwilling witness to a murder, the police hide her in the most unlikely of places—a convent! But bored and restless, Deloris has no intention of fitting in with the quiet life of the sisters under their rather strict Mother Superior. With her irrepressible spirit, she overturns convent routines and brings new life to the choir, transforming it into a popular musical sensation—though in doing so, she also draws the unwanted attention of the gangsters.

This new, original and first ever production outside Prague is presented with a cast full of Pilsen musical stars.
