was created by composer Emily Howard [9] and librettist Selma Dimitrijevich – co-artistic director of the Grayscale Theatre Company,[10] and performed by Second Movement with Ensemble 10/10 in Liverpool and London in 2012.
Selma Dimitrijevic's libretto evokes a military chorus, a love duet with his javelin-throwing wife Dana (herself an Olympic champion) and a tipsy, beer-hall song of celebration; all in slightly less time than it took Zátopek to complete 12-and-a-half laps.
Ensemble 10/10 [17] present a meticulous rendering of the score's fluid, dream-like structure under Clark Rundell; and John McMunn's Zátopek shows an admirable ability to execute a punishing, high-lying tenor role while performing press-ups and jogging on the spot.” Paul Morley reviewed the London performance on BBC 2’s The Review Show on 20 July 2012.
