Divadlo Husa na provázku:
Someday the Kids Will Thank Us

A ruthless battle rages in the city streets. Cyclists versus motorists. A world reduced to those with two wheels and those with four. No dialogue is possible through the car window. The only way to meet is to crash. The prose hit by Petr Šesták, nominated for the 2023 Magnesia Litera, caused quite a stir in the Czech literary scene—its surprisingly polished form and the urgency of its message drew attention to the topic of our contemporary culture wars. How far are we willing to go, convinced of the righteousness of our just cause? The budding director Martin Modrý challenges both the novel's narrator and the audience to take stock of their own ideologies.


For the audience with a ticket to the performance, there will be a discussion "Us & Them" from 7:00 p.m. in the foyer of ARCHA+, and a lecturer's introduction "One day the kids will thank us for it" from 7:30 p.m. in the Great Hall. After the performance, there will be a discussion and from 10:00 p.m. at the bar a concert by the Drawer Session. A Rope.lounge will be set up in the foyer throughout.



Martin Modrý (1999) is a versatile creator at the very beginning of his directorial career. We offered the graduate of Brno’s JAMU and current game design student at FAVU his first major directing opportunity at the Goose on a String Theatre, convinced by the impact of his visual approach to theater, the allure of his stage music, which he often composes himself, and his ability to articulate themes that resonate with the youngest generation.
