about the production
The production freely follows the play About Nine Little Months – a story of a baby, growing up in the tummy of its Mom. While in this play, the only actor is K. Aulitisová, in the stage-play, When Mom Is Not In, the one actor theatre is being performed by Ľ. Piktor, the father of a one-time baby. The stage production is applied by repeatedly using a stage prop and, even more notably, leading the performance with a puppet. This gives a broad space for Piktor´s fluid range of expression, ranging from a joke to the grotesque, through the clownish performance to nostalgia.
