From 25 to 27 April and from 20 to 22 May 2025, Divadlo LETÍ in Prague will organise a play development workshop on the text “Oblíznout žábu a mísu” by the Czech playwright Štěpán Vranešic. Together with the author, there will be the director Ctibor Němec and his cast: Zoja Oubramová, Lucie Hrzalová, Petr Ťopek, and Tomáš Adel. Before the session, the author will also have the opportunity to meet the translator to discuss the wider issues of translation and adaptation from one context to another. On the same dates, Divadlo LETÍ in Prague and Brno will present the play as a part of the immersive performance “Poslední zhasne”, directed by Ctibor Němec and played by the same actors.
Oblíznout žábu a mísu (Lick the Frog and the Bowl)
The play Oblíznout žábu a mísu (Lick the Frog and the Bowl) was created as a result of a two-year workshop.
The goal was to write a collective script for an immersive production Poslední zhasne.
Six playwrights created six original fictional worlds that reflect their attitudes, sense of social satire, and their unique poetics.
The assignment for writing the play was: Preparations for the end of the world.
The characters of Oblíznout žábu a mísu meditate on a fundamental question – would it be more inappropriate to ignore the possibility of triggering the end of the world, or to lick the toilet bowl?
Štěpán Vranešic
He headed towards theatre by studying screenwriting at Janáček Academy of Performing Arts in Brno. During his studies, he developed a dramatic style drawing on the multi-layered nature of his native Hlučín region. There, within sight of the Ostrava steelworks, he learned that the line between laughter and despair is sometimes more than unclear. His exploration of the identity of his region also earned him the Evald Schorm Award for his original play Indian Princess Vladěna.
