2015-12-30 KĽUD Konec zbojnikov na vichodze-Jou,paňe bože/KD Kladzany,SK

One year meets another, which mean's we're getting a new KĽUD (Kladzianske ĽUdové Divadlo) play, as per a long tradition, every Dec 30 at the local village venue.

This year, the theme is history and present, brigands(highwaymen) and the refugee crisis. One with more to say and to make us laugh about, than the other. Another plea for humanity
1. Konec zbojnikov na vichodze / The End of Highwaymen in the east
A more traditional KLUD play, taking place in a pub in the midst of 18th ct rebellions
Highly entertaining, but with some deeper insight, too.
2. Jou,paňe bože / Oh dear lord
Second part of the play takes place in a pub, again. But in present Kladzany, where unemployed people watch the hundreds of thousands of refugees come to Europe, but none to Slovakia, where the prime minister and other members of the government spit fire against accepting them. Will these poor people stand against this fear-mongering? The comparison with the Christmas story suggests so.
