Hej, mistře!

A Christmas Grotesque with a Touch of Absurdity

Two homeless men on the street, two shepherds on the road to Bethlehem, two Brothers in Trick in a brand-new production!
Add to that refined juggling technique, humor and exaggeration, a hefty dose of absurdity, and a pinch of Christmas nostalgia.
All that’s missing for that magical Christmas feeling is a dumpster, a pile of bags, and… a CARP!

Rise up, brothers, rouse yourselves anew!
To Bethlehem now, I summon you!
I hurry to proclaim great joy to all—
Don’t dawdle, rise and heed the call!
A shining light you soon shall see,
Brightening Bethlehem and heaven’s canopy.
Get up with haste, come to the stall,
To see the Innocent newly born for all.

Reviews:
“The Christmas grotesque Hey, Master! is a success. It makes both children and adults laugh… The carp sketch is the show’s golden highlight, and its potential is used down to the very last scale… Music is an integral part of the performance and, as always, perfectly enhances the atmosphere—sometimes touchingly nostalgic in a Christmas way, other times underscoring the absurdity of the moment… Brothers in Trick shine equally in public spaces and traditional theatre.” Tereza Blažková, Taneční aktuality
