ABSTRACT
The place of the pork sausage in the heart of the gastro-culture of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is the serious theme of Mr Broucek’s Excursion. The spectators see Broucek staggering out of the Vikarka shouting and railing against the injustices of modern life, taxes, bad tenants, and Modernism. Broucek opens with the sound of students drinking in the Vikarka pub, culminating in a typical drinking song. The place of the pork sausage in the heart of the gastro-culture of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is the serious theme of Mr Broucek’s Excursion. The challenge was to keep the shape of the Vikarka, but to make the reverse side, the Temple of the Lunar Arts as opposite to Prague and as dream-like as possible so that it could convincingly astonish Broucek.
