A theatrical-musical-technological-gastronomic extravaganza
Come see the pre-show performance of Cabaret Metropol, a New York-based ensemble specializing in classic German, Czech, French and English cabaret songs. Backed up by a small band of accordion, bass and brass, the group features Czech singer Katarina Vizina, Jenny Lee Mitchell, and original arrangements by musical director, Maria Dessena. Cabaret Metropol was founded with a love for European cabaret that embraces the idea that love, politics and the human condition are universal themes that cross borders, not limited to one language or people.

Václav Havel needs a pig he can slaughter and cook for a party with his dissident friends. An American journalist arrives for an interview. The villagers have a pig to sell, but where is it? And why is everyone singing The Bartered Bride? Food, drink, song, video, politics and celebration collide in this adaptation by experimental Czech director Vladimír Morávek of Havel’s text and Smetana’s music. Untitled Theater Company No. 61, the company that brought you The Havel Festival, presents the English-language premiere of this theatrical-musical-technological-gastronomic extravaganza, translated by Edward Einhorn and directed by Henry Akona. Join us at a traditional Czechoslovakian zabíjačka feast. Reserve a table and enjoy a meal or just sit back and enjoy the party.
