An adaptation of the sixth book in Terry Pratchett's Discworld fantasy series, performed by Divadlo v Dlouhé. On Discworld, which is flat and travels through space on the back of a giant turtle, unimaginable things began to happen when three witches—Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, and Magrat Garlick—became involved in royal politics. They did not like the cruel rule of Lord Felmet, who ascended the throne after murdering King Verence, who thus became a ghost.
The life of a "big" restaurant seen as a world unto itself, a world apart with its own inhabitants, rules, intrigues, movements, hierarchy, history and stories, internal and external relationships... an organic world that pulses, moves, shouts, cries, sings and, of course, eats. Here, the particularity of their vision lies in the stage set-up, which offers two separate, parallel spaces that interact with each other: the "visible" world on the dining room side, and the "underground" world on the kitchen side. At intermission, the spectator switches sides, seeing the same story from two radically different points of view.

Today, Jiří Havelka and HaDivadlo's cult production, inspired by Einstein's theory of relativity and the "thought explosion" that this theory provoked, is a witty, cheeky, and inquisitive theatrical experiment that verifies, right before the audience's eyes, what Einstein's discovery means in practice for space and time. In the first part of the performance, a physicist styled after A. Einstein introduces us to the basic concepts of his theory. In the second part, the stage becomes Einstein's space-time, where the individual characters traveling by train to Zurich, together with the audience, experience firsthand the functioning of the world that began on May 29, 1919. That was when the truth of his theory of the universe was confirmed.

Where might they be today if a bomb hadn't exploded at the airport when they were flying to Turkmenistan for a tour...

It’s always been a dream of mine to do a show at the Fillmore. The name itself is synonymous with legendary performances. Countless iconic musicians and comedians have been on that stage. To be a part of that history was something I’ll never forget. As much as I was trying to keep my head together before the show, I couldn’t help but feel like a tourist or just some random dude who won a contest. LET IT GO represents the culmination of material I developed on the road from 2008-2009. As always thanks to everyone who came out to my shows, laughed at the funny stuff and stared during the bombing. I hope you enjoy it. – Bill Burr
