WELCOME TO STUPIDITY – a sad street show
Small stupidities with a big impact!
A non-verbal comedy about the (un)real saviors of today’s world
There are two of them: an ordinary Garbage Man and an incorrigible Savior who decided to save the world. Humorous scenes full of situational gags will guide the audience through the dynamic story, from a reckless stun by a new visionary, through an unexpected threat, to sobering up from herd attitude and behaviour. Attention! The universality of (un)common human stupidity and its irrational symptoms can lead to tragic consequences!

The Ensemble of Irregular Theatre | Slovakia
The Ensemble of Irregular Theatre (Ansámbel Nepravidelného Divadla) is an independent group of theatre professionals and enthusiasts of contemporary art, all sharing the same humanistic worldview. It was established after a generational and programmatic transformation of the Kremnica Theatre Underground (2012-2017), which in 1981 had established KREMNICA GAGS – The Festival of Humour and Satire, organized for 25 years. The Ensemble is based in the Art Cafe in Banská Štiavnica. Its permanent members are: Dušan Krnáč, Jana Mikitková, Ján Fakla, Milan Lichý, Tomáš Cíger, Ema Rajčanová and Marek Boháč, who collaborate with external creators and artists on projects. Their goal is to create new forms of contemporary cabaret, street theatre and socially engaged productions.
