A grunt. A squeal. A gunshot in the night. Thus begins a year-long scandal in the kingdom of Prasečov involving two thieves and a nun, a tyrant king, and the royal pig. Rok Prasete ('Year of the Pig') is an original tragicomedy for adults and family audiences (age 10+) featuring puppets, live music, and a tongue-in-cheek parable about the way everything falls apart (including the pig).

'The production of Rok prasete was one of the best in this year’s Přelet nad loutkářským hnízdem festival...In addition to Orwell, the performance is reminiscent of ‘Kocourkov’ and ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’...a tongue-in-cheek parable about the strangeness of the world.' – Jana Soprová, Divadelní Noviny
