Description
Drobek's Wonderful Adventure is a fantastical story from the world of dwarves, who call themselves "smelly ones" because they don't wash (they hate water) and survive on discarded, unappetizing food that they gather on their supply expeditions to garbage containers. People cannot see or hear them, but they can certainly – and very distinctly – smell them. The dwarven world in this original and humorous debut for older children by Brno director, playwright, and screenwriter Ondřej Elbel reflects several social issues: the story subtly highlights the rampant food waste (after all, we feed the entire dwarven world with it!), the mayor's press spokesman manages to remove the mayor and manipulate the dwarven people, and ultimately, in a staged, unjust trial, the main character Drobek is punished with a big bath, the most terrible punishment for any smelly one.
