The show is based on the dramatization realised by the director Alexandru Dabija, which is inspired by the book written by Jaroslav Hašek – The Good Soldier Svejk. It is consider one of the most memorable and successful satirical writings of world literature, being not only an inteligent and convincing anti-war manifesto, but also one of the most funniest novels ever written.

„I don’t know if I will succeed to convey what I wanted. But the fact that I heard some people greeting each other: „You are dumb as Svejk!”, demonstrates the opposite. And even if Svejk will become a new curse in the crown of flourishing reproach, I will be satisfied with this contribution to the enrichment of the Czech language.”

(Jaroslav Hašek)

Jaroslav Hašek (April 30, 1883 – January 3, 1923), Czech writer, humorist and a socialist anarchist, it was the author of several humorous and satirical sketches, but he remained famous for the novel The Good Soldier Švejk, translated in more than 60 languages.
