No more boring history! Here is a dramatisation of Patrik Ouředník's internationally successful book and his gripping and bizarre account of the world in the 20th century. A world in which war, invention of the bra and perforated toilet paper all played an important role. Banalities and pivotal moments are given equal space here, and the result is a new perspective on our past. The twentieth century as in the palm of your hand. Directed by Jan Mikulášek, the cast includes Dita Kaplanová, Anežka Kubátová, Magdaléna Sidonová, Jan Hájek, Václav Vašák, Jiří Kniha, Miloslav König, Jiří Vyorálek. The performance will be followed by a discussion with the actors moderated by journalist Eva Sládková.

Dramaturgy of Theatre Na zabradlí is following the path of original authorial theatre, dramatisations of novels and radical interpretations of classics. It brings fresh, often semi- documentary productions, that demand an engaged and open-minded audience, not afraid to think about the art it is being exposed to. The company regularly performs at home and abroad, frequently visiting Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Germany, but has also performed in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Colombia, and the USA. It will be Na zabradli’s first visit to Banská Štiavnica!
