Kudy Kam

Last night I went to the state opera to see a production of the modern Czech opera Kudy Kam. We were told that there would be subtitles projected above the stage, but much to our dismay we were misinformed. From the little I was able to understand the play was about a lonely man who is approached by a devilish figure named Kudy Kam who promises to help him find some good companionship. Things got pretty weird - I'm talking men in glitter skirts with neon cosmic Amadeus wigs weird. There was a scene in which a singing Danny DeVito look-a-like was hoisted onto the shoulders of 4 men in neon pink rabbit suits while 8 other pink rabbits rolled on top of each other on the floor. Martin, the protagonist does eventually find love with a woman who appears to be a maid? I was pretty confused and after three hours of Kudy Kam took the subway home in a fog.
