The staging was inspired by the book Mystéro buffo of the Italian writer and playwright Dario Fo who continued in it the tradition of the folk medieval farces and moralities. He used in it all the avant-garde theatre forms, including the once actor theatre.

The short-stories "The birth of a strolling singer", "The slaughter of the innocents", "Morality of the blind and the halt", "Wedding in the tub" and "The madman and the death" have a message and set us thinking. Everything in a folk and humour form.

There is no mistaking that Marčík has a gift to entertain other people. For him mysteries are a chance to combine important thoughts with characteristic humour.

Each short story is treated so as to demonstrate the possibilities of the one actor's theatre. V. Marčík plays the puppet-show, on the ladder, the drama, and the communicative theatre…
