Štěpán Kozub: Clown with a wet tear

You can admire him or dislike him. But he always surprises you with the breadth of his talent.

Štěpán Kozub is unmistakable in acting, boundless in humor, and unique in his songs. But what is he like in his solitude without scripts and costumes? Maybe there' s a child hiding inside, playing and still not having enough. Or maybe he has an old soul filled to the brim with the experiences of several lifetimes. And he uses all of this in his profession and in his relationships with people close to him or far away. He lies with his body, but he is open in his testimony. He talks about the harrowing bullying that he is occasionally reminded of. About his father, whose premature death he has not overcome, and the profession to which he is completely devoted. He still has the energy to seek, to overcome, and yet remains humble to everything he has received from life. That alone makes it inspiring to be on the road with him.
