About this Event

Monday Begins on Saturday is a Soviet-era satire by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, blending absurdist humour with social critique. It follows a research institute where magic is studied with bureaucratic inefficiency, and scientists chase meaning through myth and routine. The text is sharp, imaginative, and often read as a sly parody of academic and ideological life.
