Come and listen to one of the most famous collaborations of early twentieth century Czech literature, "The Insect Play, or Ad Infinitum."

Come and see how many similarities The Brothers Čapek draw between our problems, our beliefs, and our struggles with the lives of the very critters that walk beneath our feet. Join our inebriated narrator as he witnesses the world of the insects become larger than life—how the butterflies attempt to woo the other sex, how dung beetles work and work to get their nest egg ready for... someday, and how the ants make it their mission to conquer all of the land between one blade of grass and another—all in the name of democracy. A truly surreal and remarkable experience that you won't want to miss, this three act play will stick with you long after its initial runtime.
