John Sinclair

P. Tejnorová inspired by J. Dark’s motif

Freshly carved kinky literature

Disk Theatre, Prague, 2007

Not bound by any conventions or rigid syntactic relations – that is theatre noir. The unusual atmosphere – that of John Sinclair – which represents this new theatrical style is further supplemented by the original – Jason Dark’s pulp fiction fad, the creation of superhero John Sinclair.

Out of the many books in the series, we have decided to choose “Labyrinth der 1000 Tode”, that is, the part in which John’s secretary, Glenda, gets kidnapped because Asmodina wants to get a silver nail from John in order to kill Solo Morasso alias Doctor Death, who is her only rival in black magic!

An atmosphere full of strange eroticism and pop-cultural metaphors. Enormous detail is alternated with wide-screen visions. Puppets and action acting, everything is in an infinite state of transformation.
