This original adaptation of Dostoyevsky’s classic novel doesn’t lack the humor, hyperbole and
mystification so typical for Zelenka’s work. A Prague actors’ groupe, together with its director,
comes to modern Krakow to stage an adaptation of Brothers Karamazov in the nontraditional
environment of a steel factory. The play is dealing with the topics of faith,
immortality and salvation
of the human soul. In the background of the theatre rehearsal, we follow the fate of the
actors.
The story is also aff ected by the personal tragedy of one of the viewers, who has the
unusual wish to have the actors rehearse just for him. The rehearsal turns into a show for an
audience of one. The biggest drama takes place not on the
stage, but in the auditorium....
