Josef and Karel Capek’s Insect Play, also known as The World We Live In, is based on the writings of J. Henri Fabre, a French entymologist (bug-studier) who based his studies on observation of insects in nature, rather than in a lab setting. His stories about caterpillars and wasps are filled with a childlike delight in discovery, and in his accounts, strong parallels between insect and human behavior appear. The Kapek brothers, fascinated by this idea, wrote a play which highlights those parallels. It is both funny and reflective, tragic and triumphant, harsh and hilarious.

Indecent charts the history of an incendiary drama and the
path of the artists who risked their careers and lives to perform it.
