Cancelled: The Czech Comedy about The Rich Man and Lazarus

Director Lukáš Brutovský rewrote Pavel Kyrmezer’s Biblical Czech-couched Renaissance morality play into a contemporary piece. The result is a modern, visually compelling and musically original production that delivers a focused performance by the tightly-knit actors’ ensemble from Martin. However, the spotlight is on the spectacular Tomáš Mischura as the Rich Man, whom the creators hold up as a mercilessly critical mirror to today’s consumer-materialist society.

This production was co-selected by the Spectator Programme Board of the Be SpectACTive! Project.

Language: Slovak, English surtitles
