Mein Švejk

Donate

An entertaining action performance that wittily juggles with a multitude of genres: the operetta is replaced by dreamlike poetry and the crazy comedy by a harsh protest against the war. It depicts Švejk as a tragic victim of an absurd military and political system, who is eventually thrown into the turmoil of war. This production, filled with absurd scenes and comic details and directed by J. A. Pitínský, bursts with ideas. The famous hero, played by Daniel Bush, winner of the 2022 Thalia Award, has become a reputable personality. The humorous performance also stands out for its great stage music, including sounds from music performers such as Frank Zappa and Dire Straits.
