22:15 – 23:05, Synagogue / Youth Theatre: Father with Mashed Potatoes. Šesť Pé Youth Theatre (SK) TICKETS HERE
Father turns into a rabbit one day. Someone might say that it doesn’t really matter, except that who is going to go to work now? Who will fix the faucet or open the jam jar? Who will snore at night and thus scaring away thieves? Who will drive our bicycle? Who will … who will give me a hug when I’m sad? The rabbit will not answer these questions, because it cannot speak. Production of the award-winning ensemble Šesť Pé at the Partizánske Theatre Association based on Etgar Keret’s short story does not offer answers, but attempts to save the rabbit from the roaster.
