After the reading followed a discussion with the authors and directors (together with the creative team of the Darlings / Miláčci rehearsed reading) moderated by Dušan Poliščák.

On the eve of The Big Day. It’ll either be the start of a new chapter, or the end of the world. Nothing in between. In the background of colliding worldviews, a wedding band plays all the pleasures that might be guilty but are also as accurate as the Oracle of Delphi. Feminism, Europe’s questionable humanism, or the search for positive masculinity – characters from ancient myth and 20th century pop culture are dropped hard, fast, and deep into these topics. Do their archetypal narratives reflect of our own lives? Are we even aware of the myths that our society is based upon? Is it based on anything anymore? A remorseless musical comedy for audience members 15 and up who like to study their own identity, their place in relationships and the world.
