Dead Swan Throw

Disturbing, harsh and funny stories full of unusual situations and original humour read by the actors of Dejvice Theatre

The opera singer and director Líbezný will become a player in international business and politics. However, on the Nusel Bridge, he is about to commit an act that will end his suffering. Odongo, an 11-year-old African boy adopted from a distance by childless husband and wife Peter and Nicole, faces a firearm as he awaits the end of his life. They have all become cogs in a dirty game, plotted in the high floors of the Brussels bureaucracy.

The director of Dejvice Theatre, Krobot, under the weight of lack of funds, resorts with the entire ensemble to the bootleg sale of kitchen utensils in the style of "scumbags". Not that he, Odongo, Peter or Nikol, as well as the singer Líbezný could not have done it themselves...

All of Hübl's stories have ambiguous heroes, half negative, half positive, and always uncomfortably and intrusively close. It is a disturbing, harsh and entertaining read, because Hübl has an original sense of humour and an infectious appetite for inventing novel situations and connections.

They wrote about Hod by a Dead Swan

"Hübl is a great observer, his dialogues reveal that he is also able to listen to the language spoken by certain social classes. (. ) Dead Swan's Throw is exactly what a first book should be. Cheeky, full of eager energy, sometimes a little wobbly, but sympathetically honest.

"Despite these criticisms, however, The Dead Swan's Feast can be described as a remarkable literary debut (. ) As a satirist, the author is somewhere between Gary Shteyngart and Štěpán Kopřiva. It has neither Shteyngart's visionary ingenuity and complexity, nor Kopřiv's brutal pull on the goal, but thanks to its apt depiction of specific features of social behaviour with an accent on dystopianism, verbal humour and friendliness towards morbidity, it can at least shake hands with both of them.
