VolodymyrKonshin

Set in the 16th century in southern Bohemia, this poetic play follows the adventures of Kazimir, a cunning rogue who roams the world, assuming the identities of others to conceal his true self. Along his journey, he encounters a pure angel descended to Earth, embodying innocence and virtue. Contrasting this celestial being is a lustful and envious pastor, whose desires and jealousy drive much of the conflict. The story weaves a tapestry of love, hatred, and fiery passion, exploring the depths of human emotion.

Deus Vult

(Some weeks later, the merchants return to the tavern with news. They reveal Kazimir's history of impersonations, from soldier to merchant, from healer to thief, and all with lies and trickery. Pastor Ondrej, holding the secrets close, relishes the power he now holds.)

"Father, behold—his deeds laid bare,

A soldier once, in jest he played,

A doctor false, his coins he made."

"So Kazimir, a wolf dressed fine,

With pretty words and charm benign.

But I shall cut these webs you weave,

And truth shall drive you forth to leave."

(The scene fades, with Pastor Ondrej plotting to expose Kazimir's past, clutching his new knowledge like a dagger aimed at Kazimir's budding reputation.)
