On the Sexual Life of Our People

That wasn't for us! Today's young people don't even meet anymore. We spent time together – everyone knew who was doing what and where. And when the farmhands were fooling around in the hayloft, the whole village knew about it!

Karel Jaromír Erben collected fairy tales, Karel Jaroslav Obrátil collected stories of rural life – and there were plenty of them in Czech village history. Sex belongs to fundamental human drives since time immemorial, yet it remains a social taboo. It outrages artists performing naked in front of children, nudist beaches are considered a German perversion, and even Adam and Eve had their genitals covered with fig leaves.

People have experienced the sexual revolution, the rise of Tinder and OnlyFans, polygamy is no longer the biggest transgression. Communal singing of bawdy folk songs may have disappeared, but virtual dating with all manner of specializations thrives.

Why do people feel ashamed of their physicality when it is precisely because of it that everyone exists in the world?

An opening of attitudes toward sexuality, where audiences together with actors will reveal a unique work of art – their own shame.
