Marysha

A classic of Czech dramatic literature that demands its interpretation at any time. The national game interpreted many times. But where does the nation end and the game begin?

‍

Maryša is a model of the village woman of the late nineteenth century and at the same time a universal timeless principle of defiance. Yet he is subject to the mechanisms of the society in which he lives, but also willingly co-creates them. He becomes a victim of stubbornness and stubbornly insists on his victims. She is a heroine against her will and a murderer of God's will. Is the stubbornness that controls Marysha hereditary, or is it an expression of a strong personality? And is the murder he commits this morning a logical outcome of circumstance, or a moral appeal for generations to come of viewers and performers? Is she black? And is she white?
