Summary
The Dung Beetle is late, the Parasite is asleep and Mrs Larva is more interested in her knitting than the director’s instructions. It’s clear: this amateur theatre company has a long way to go before they can perform their version of "The Insect Play", a famous satirical work from 1922 by the brothers Karel and Josef Čapek which features insects with decidedly human traits: greed, egocentrism, jealousy.
Director: Jan Švankmajer
Cast: Jan Budař, Jiří Lábus, Norbert Lichý, Jaromír Dulava, Kamila Magálová
