Herkules a Augiášov chliev

"We're not in shit. We're manured!"

Welcome to Élide - in a country where there is an Office for manure matters, the national council sits in a barn and solves... its agronomic products. This is where the Greek national hero comes to wrestle with his toughest enemy yet. Can he defeat him?

Friedrich Dürrenmatt's satirical play places an ancient demigod in a story in which superhuman strength tries to defeat political power. Herkules and Augiášov chliev (1963) returns to the Slovak stage as a musical comedy after more than sixty years.
