Premiere of a new original theatrical play "Cabaret Waiting for the Flu", written by Norbert Žid in collaboration with actor Karel Zima. A dark comedy with sci-fi elements exploring themes such as conspiracy theories, global capitalism, genetic manipulation, and artificial intelligence.
The screenplay was inspired by books by Israeli historian and anthropologist Yuval Noah Harari "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" and "Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow" and an essay by French philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy "The Virus That Makes Us Crazy – An Epidemic of Fear."
