The Excursions of Mr. Brouček

Leoš Janáček

PREMIERE 
Thu 23 July 2026 – 7.30 p.m.

About

Matěj Brouček really wants just one thing: to be left in peace. The world outside is too loud, too complicated, too exhausting. He would rather retreat into the safety of his own four walls. But life has other plans: Brouček is torn from his comfort zone – first catapulted to the moon, then into 15th-century Prague. Awaiting him are grotesque societies, bizarre trials, and a past that feels surprisingly contemporary. But will these journeys truly change him – or does he remain the same after all?
