Description
Pictures from the Insects' Life is an allegorical play written by Josef Čapek and Karel Čapek in 1922. The play uses various types of insects to satirize human behavior, portraying greed, selfishness, and societal corruption. The story follows a wandering human character observing different insect societies, including ruthless ants, pleasure-seeking butterflies, and money-driven beetles, each representing different aspects of human flaws. Through dark humor and absurdity, the Čapek brothers critique social hierarchies, capitalism, and human folly. The play remains a significant work of Czech theater, known for its blend of satire and surrealism.
