Černá díra

The same thing a hundred times over, or else despite not being the very best comedy in the Prague’s Dejvice Theatre repertoire, it is still well above average. The first hour of Black Hole matures with every repeat of the loop and “humor" is long left on the sidelines. But in the last half hour it starts harvesting the ripe fruits of absurdity by the basket as everyone and everything revolves. In fact, the second half makes the first half seem much better when you know that the stupefying plodding tempo and repetition was an ingenious plan that paid off in the finale. If you don’t have a sense for the absurd, give this a very wide berth; ideally via a dolphinarium, because hard-working dolphins are the only sure thing in this world. (21.09.2011)
