comedy with songs about a Brno genius

In the productions presented in the unique space of the Bishop's Court, we regularly focus on prominent figures in Moravian history. The author team Slovák - Šotkovský - Štěpán should complete a kind of free, genre-diverse trilogy of author's productions designed for this space with the production Mendel or The Pea Rebellion. After a narrative legend with songs by Baron Trenck and the drama ballet Cyril and Methodius, the story of perhaps the world's most famous Brno - genetics founder Gregor Johann Mendel, abbot of the Augustinian monastery in Old Brno. However, it will not be a traditional biographical drama, but a comedic song with original songs, in which various Brno legends enter Mendel's fate (because we perceive Mendel as the center of Brno and the coat of arms of Brno, whose person the authors associate various Brno myths) and in which we finally learn also what the Old Brno peas themselves say about the abbot's experiments. As in the case of Baron Trenck and Cyril and Methodius, the director of the production is Stanislav Slovák.
