Erlend Loe's “Naïv. Super.” is one of the most essential novels of the so-called neo-naïvism forming a great alternative to epic novels. It is characterised by a simple vision of the world, lack of action plot and subtle humour. It describes the life of a 25 year old man who is going through an existential crisis. Zuzana Burianová's adaptation is an essence of the 90s completed by video installation of the audio-visual group ESCHER FUCKER.

“Sometimes I envy the goldfish. Apparently, they only have a few seconds’ worth of memory span. They experience everything for the first time. Every time. Life must be one long happy story.”

Zuzana Burianová (1989) studied directing at the Department of Dramatic Theatre at the DAMU academy. Since her studies she has been working with studio scenes of J.K. Tyl theatre in Pilsen and Divadlo na Vinohradech. For the ensemble Tygr v tísni she prepared original productions Explosis (2015) and Ticho, nahrává se (2017). She co-founded a theatre ensemble BodyVoiceBand. For theatre scene Venuše ve Švehlovce and non-profit organization Jako doma, she created a documentary project with homeless women called Co čumíš?! (2016).

Divadlo na cucky is an independent and alternative ensemble creating various productions ranging from drama to dance. Their distinctive poetics headed towards experimenting and searching for new means of communication are formed by the guest directors (Anna Petrželková, Jan Frič, Jiří Jelínek) as well as in-house creators (Jan Žůrek, Barbora Schneiderová). Its activities are produced by the DW7, o.p.s. organization. Since 2013 the theatre has been running its own scene in the former canonical residence at Wurmova Street 7, which they turned into an open platform for meeting and encounters through Za()hrada garden, workshops for the public (Malí na cucky, SENior), artistic residencies and so on. They will open the 2017/18 season in their new space at Dolní náměstí led by the new artistic director Silvia Vollmannová.
